What To Expect

West And East Mitten Buttes

We’ll begin our journey with a scenic ride to The Mittens, also known as the West and East Mitten Buttes. Enjoy stunning views and learn about the geological significance of these iconic landmarks. When viewed from the south, the buttes appear to be two gigantic mittens with their thumbs facing inwards.

Sentinel Mesa

It’s often referred to as the “watchtower” of the valley due to its towering presence and strategic location. Standing at 6,200 feet, it has been a natural landmark for centuries, guiding both the Navajo people and early explorers. During horseback tours, riders can enjoy panoramic views of the surrounding desert, and the mesa’s distinct shape often evokes the image of a lone sentinel keeping watch over the land. It’s a popular stop for photography, offering stunning vistas of the iconic red rock formations.

We are horse owners and we had an amazing trail ride with our guide Logan on Mustang horses. A trail where we went on tight paths, on high paths everything a rider wants with amazing views.

My husband and I did the 2 hour tour with Deion as our guide. He was the absolute best! We were the only ones on the tour so he took his time explaining what we were looking at and giving us the history behind it all. And he patiently took all the photos for us! To be able to ride through Monument Valley without seeing anyone else was truly a magical experience and I would definitely recommend this tour! Deion was such a friendly guide and we were totally impressed that he rode bareback!!

The experience itself is amazing. Horses are very good and the place too! We just didn't like so much our guide which didn't explain anything to us and we found her a little bit rude and bored. From the beginning and immediately she also asked for a good tip. I think that the tip should depend on the service and in any case it is very rude to ask so directly for it and even before the experience has started... she was just always checking her phone in silence and when she said something seemed so much bored...! Despite this, at the end we left her 10$ and she said that if we really didn't have more cash we could also leave more tip with the card. I was very irritated because she didn't deserve not even a dollar from my point of view and we gave the tip anyway. I think that if you want a good tip (which she had anyway) just commit to give a good service at least...!!!
