Our guide Lesley was a Navajo elder with a deep understanding of the tradition of the wise, old way. The wonderful Navajo land of Monument Valley took on a different, more intimate feel with his explanation of the proud traditional ways of Navajo people. It was a long drive from Kebab, Utah but it was worth it.

We booked a private tour of the Monument Valley Backcountry. This was excellent. There were four of us and the tour was in an SUV which was much better than the open air safari vehicle. Two people had back issues and the SUV was a much smoother ride and little dust. The guide was outstanding. He provided us with great information, opportunities for photographs with many suggestions for where to take pictures, and provided us with many views of the back country that aren't available if you try to drive your own car. In addition any stops we made for road side shopping were long enough. No one would be disappointed in the private tour, the cost wasn'tt much more than the regular tour.

We were thinking of just driving the road ourselves but decided it would be more fun to go with a guide. What a great decision. Reever was excellent. From his stories of his grandmother's teachings to the enchanting flute music he treated us with. This tour stands out as one of our highlights from ten days in Arizona. Everyone should go on this tour.
