Jamie was an excellent tour guide. Just the right mix of funny and informative. The sights in Monument Valley are unbelievably beautiful. Jamie even sang for us and played the flute. Magical.

We had a wonderful Jeep tour with our guide Stanley. He talked a lot about the Navajo culture and how his people live daily life there in the valley. He also sang Navajo song for us which was very good. Monument valley amazes me every time I travelled there. I think the talks about how these rocks are formed from geological time point is missing in the tour as guide only talked about how local people live there. I’d like to hear the science behind these great plains when on tour like this - “ Monument valley is formed during the Permian period, this patch of land once formed part of a seafloor where sediments and sandstone piled up in layers for millions of years. Tectonic forces raised the slab above the water line and created a plateau. Then water and wind chipped away at the sedimentary rock and removed the softer materials, eventually giving us the towering structures that we see today.” This place also has lots of fossil remains and if tour include those would be great. But this is just me. Tour was wonderful just lacking the science side.
