What To Expect

The Mitten Buttes And Merrick Butte

As we set up the horses to assign based on experience, weight, and height. We'll give you and our horse buddies a proper introduction. After you two get acquainted, we'll start galloping towards the West Mitten Butte, where you get to be up close. Take pictures of the East Mitten and Merrick buttes at a distance. When viewed from the south, the buttes appear to be two gigantic mittens with their thumbs facing inwards. If you capture the Merrick Butte at an angle you see that it's between the West & East Mitten Buttes. All three buttes are commonly seen together in many popular films and images. Its elevation is over 6,200 ft making it one of the tallest buttes in Monument Valley.

Sentinel Mesa

Located northwest of The Mittens is the Sentinel Mesa, a mountain with an elevation of over 6,400 ft. Most of the mesa is in the state of Utah, but a small southern section of it is in the state of Arizona. This breathtaking mesa can be seen from so many points.

Me and my brother had a private tour on 11-16-2021 with our guide namen Robert. He gave us a lot of information about our surroundings and he was an awesome guide! The tour itself was amazing. The views are beautiful and the horses were so much fun. It was an amazing experience. We started our tour at 3 pm and came back around 5 pm with the sunset 😍

My son and I booked a one-hour horseback ride at Sacred Monument Tours, whose stable is located just beyond the cabins at the View hotel, from 10-11 in the morning. Robert was our excellent Navajo guide, and our mounts, Willie and Ecker, were experienced trail horses that were perfect for a couple of inexperienced riders like ourselves (though other mounts and longer rides are available for more experienced riders). The ride took us around the base of one of the Mittens and back, and was the fulfillment of a lifetime bucket list for someone like me (68yo) who grew up on John Ford westerns. As an added bonus, as Robert pointed out, the Sacred Monument stables are located at the site of the Edwards family homestead in The Searchers. Standing there, one can see the exact trail that Ethan (John Wayne) rode up to the homestead in The Searchers' opening scene! All in all, highly recommended.
