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 Ford’s Point where many of John Wayne’s western cinematic movies were filmed. Next, your guide will drive to The Backcountry of the park and escort you to the ā€œSun’s Eye Arch" and Hogan Demonstration.Ā  At ā€œSun’s Eye Archā€ you will be standing at a specific degree to look up into the rock arch and see why it is named Sun’s Eye. At the same location you will also see Petroglyphs and hear your guide’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 guides’ stories because each guide has very uniquely different stories to tell. Our guides’ stories come from personal experience, lore, legends and the Navajo culture.

We thoroughly enjoyed our tour and especially our guide, Joe. We were the lone couple on this early season tour. Joe made sure we saw all the incredible sights and helped us with tips for getting great photos. He was very knowledgeable and forthcoming with information and also patient with our many questions. We especially appreciated how much he shared about his own life growing up in the valley and details of his family and wide-ranging professional life. We learned a great deal about the experience of the Dine' in both ancient and modern times. The visit to the hogan and conversation with the woman weaving there was special, too. It was an experience we will not forget.
