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.

Harry Nez was a great tour guide. We enjoyed learning about Monument Valley and itā€™s history. Harry shared many personal stories as well. He was very informative. Monument Valley is a must see and this tour is a great way to see it!!

Really interesting stories from John our tour guide. We drove through the monument valley and onto private reservation land which you couldnā€™t do if you drove yourself. Very interesting. Although it was an open sided bus tour, so you were exposed to the elements a bit, including sand dust blowing in your eyes and the heat. For 3.5 hours it did get quite hot in places, and despite it stating snacks & water would be available they werenā€™t offered. Thankfully we brought lunch and plenty of liquids (but still got thirsty!) as it was 12pm, hottest part of the day I think this shouldā€™ve been offered.

We stayed at The View Hotel, which was exceptional in itself, but we also took a private Cultural Tour of Lower Monument Valley Tribal Park. We were picked up right at the hotel. Our guide Yvonne (or Vonn) was extremely knowledgeable and well informed. She took the time not only to share her knowledge, but also listen carefully to our questions and answer them. It was a very spiritual experience and will never be forgotten! Thank you Vonn!
