What To Expect

Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park
The Navajo culture has thrived on the land between the Four Scared Mountains, and those teachings have been inherited through generations of verbal and lesson teaching methods. Some of these teachings are shared with you during the Cultural Tour by your Navajo guide. The Cultural, 3.5 hour tour makes a first stop at the famous John Fordā€™s Point where many of John Wayneā€™s western cinematic movies were filmed. Next, your guide will drive to The Backcountry of the park and escort you to the ā€œSunā€™s Eye Arch" and Hogan Demonstration.Ā  At ā€œSunā€™s Eye Archā€ you will be standing at a specific degree to look up into the rock arch and see why it is named Sunā€™s Eye. At the same location you will also see Petroglyphs and hear your guideā€™s stories. Next, you will travel to the ā€œBig Hogan.ā€ The Big Hogan is a great place to take family pictures and lie against the rocks and feel its warmth. Your guide will provide stories and suggest great photo shots. The last stop in the Backcountry is the ā€œEar of the Wind.ā€ This is the largest arch in the park, and your guide will escort you to a photogenic spot where you can take photographs. Next, you will be guided to the Totem Pole and Yei Bi Cheii Monuments where you will be able to take photographs and hear the cultural stories behind each monument. The last stop is at the North Window where you will have a chance to take pictures of the Mittens and Butte at a different angle. Your tour guide will then slowly and safely transport you back to your departure point. Unfortunately, we cannot give much information about our guidesā€™ stories because each guide has very uniquely different stories to tell. Our guidesā€™ stories come from personal experience, lore, legends and the Navajo culture.

We chose the Dineh Bekeyah tour. Our tour was 12/10/22. As it happens, we were the only ones on the tour. Our guide, Harry, was great. He was knowledgeable about the formations, told us history of the Valley and of his Navajo culture and upbringing. He is an excellent photographer! We had plenty of time to take all of the photos we wanted. This was the extended tour and we visited a hogan and had a demonstration of spinning wool and how life was in the hogan. We saw Anasazi petroglyphs at Sun's Eye. We enjoyed the tour and Harry made it special.

DO NOT MISS THIS TOUR! Our guide John was so cheerful and knowledgeable. We saw many beautiful vistas but Johnā€™s guidance gave us a deeper understanding of Navajo culture. He orchestrated the most amazing photography, played a beautiful flute concert, and made us feel at home in his world. We loved it!
