Larry our driver, tour guide and all round 3 1/2 hour source of information was great. He had all the answers to our questions. Monument Valley is a special place… The View hotel is nice however the restaurant and museum to the west at Goulding’s Lodge is a wee bit nicer..

Sandrea provided an excellent overview of the monument. We all enjoyed her stories about family and friends living on the Nation. She was very knowledgeable about herbal use of local vegetation for medicinal and industrial use. Even though it was very windy and cold she was thoughtful enough to bring extra warm blankets for all of us.

The tour was outstanding. Lots of stops at spectacular views. Backcountry part to the arches was well worth it—they were amazing. Our guide (Larry) was outstanding—he gave us much history—geological and Navajo. He is also an expert taking photos (of us with our phones and cameras).
