A number of people have mentioned wearing masks. Remember: the mask is intended to protect OTHER people from YOU, not you from other people. I think that masks some time give us a sense of security (protection) that is not there.
I don't want to start a debate on whether or not to wear masks, but as a reminder that masks are not intended to protect US, but to protect others. Yes, I wear a mask when indoors in a public venue.

I'd do it if I wanted to. If I didn't want to, I wouldn't. But then, I don't copy what others do.

Yes, it does protecting you, if it can prevent the germ going out from you it can do the other way to prevent the germ going in. The filter works both way! This is only a common sense! It's only my thought!

By all means, put living on Pause during this orchestrated panic-demic here in Montana for example, just over half a percent of the population have contracted the disease, of that half percent 1.43 percent, 89 people have died. No report on comorbidity of those who perished. Not really very scary, and I'm around 3 months from 76.

As much as it pains me to say this, but I'd avoid Monument Valley. The Navajo Nation --i.e., the Four Corners region generally, but mainly NE AZ, NW NM, and SE UT-- has been (is still being) tragically hit with very high rates of Covid-19, and it doesn't appear to abating any time soon.
Ordinarily, I'm pretty self-sufficient and do a lot of camping well away from others. And I know the areas mentioned above pretty well, so its not as if I'm travelling blind, trying to figure things out on the fly, or ever need to stop to ask for directions/recommendations/assistance. Its easy enough to keep clear of others, but however good anyone might be at logistics, there is always some need to be in civilization; to get gas, or food, or water, or even a shower if you've been out for a few days. And if or when any of those situations arise, be aware that there will be others around from virtually everywhere, people like yourself who've come from where ever it is they came from, and have (probably) been in close contact with who knows how many others along their way.
Here in Moab, I see groups of people --tourists, mainly-- walking up and down Main St., going into shops or restaurants, not wearing masks and not self distancing. Just guessing (from having seen it first hand), I expect the same is the case in Kayenta, Kanab, Flagstaff, and every other little --essentially 'tourist'-- town in between.
If the above sounds as though I'm paranoid or "scared" or whatever, so be it. Do as you choose to do, but I'd suggest you hold off until next year, or whenever the virus is no longer an issue.

The answer to your question" What would you do"
I would stay safe and stay home. Your bedding would get contaminated if the hotel/motel did not spray and clean properly

The bedding contamination is something I hadn't thought about.

One big question, and to my mind risk, is eating in restaurants. You can't eat with a mask on and may well be indoors.
I would not eat indoors either. Don't see food as an unacceptable risk.

I have had several friends who have taken trips and have had no problems with hotels or places to eat. One friend started in Kansas and went to D.C. and then back to Montana ( her new home ). They used wipes and cleaning sprays, gloves & masks.
This is our everyday routine.

Ck status of parks as they are in a state of flux due to Covid-19. Here in Texas state parks are only open by appointment & Big Bend NP was closed in July. Haven’t heard anything since. (don’t know about other National Parks, forests, wildlife areas in Texas).
Good luck & be careful.

If we decide to go this will be part of our research.

I'd probably wait until next year. If I did go, I would rent a small RV that I could clean myself and live in for the duration of the trip... IMO a safer way to sleep and eat avoiding hotels and restaurants. I am actually planning another trip out west for the fall of 2021 when it will hopefully be safer.
RV is just not our choice. We may wait it out ourselves.

first- Outside masks are not necessary, unless in large crowds. Just maintain 6 foot distance. Inside use masks. inside, use wipes, and/or sprays UV light bars work as well. If money is of no concern, maybe rent a small RV, or a camper. That will solvve the sleeping problem
All good advice. Thanks. Don't see us doing the RV.
