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.

My wife and I did the 3.5 hour cultural tour offered by Dineh Bekeyah Tours - it was truly amazing! We were the only ones on this particular tour, so it was like having our own private tour! Our guide was Derek, who grew up in this area and so was able to explain much about Navajo customs and lifestyle. We had a weaving demonstration at a Navajo hogan far back in Monument Valley, where most tours do not go. The other highlight of the tour was when Derek played a Navajo melody on his hand carved flute, while my wife and I relaxed in the shade of one of the rock formations. Amazing! We learned a lot about local culture; saw scenery that was unbelievably beautiful; and came away with a truly uplifting feeling. This was why we came to Monument Valley!

We were lucky enough to have Harry Nez again as a guide for our second Monument Valley tour to the Mystery Valley. This is a remarkable area not much visited by tourists and Harry did a great job taking us to amazing vistas and Anasazi sites. Heā€™s a great interpreter and ā€œexplainerā€ of what youā€™ve seeing. Highly recommended!!

The opportunity to learn from Roz that belongs to the community. This was our first time visiting the park and Rozā€™ explanation made a huge difference in our perception in this trip as a beautiful and sacred Valley, that offer all the necessary to live. I want to come back again, maybe next time in a sunrise or sunset tour.
