Forrest Gump Point

Our tour of Monument Valley actually begins a little outside the valley: Forest Gump Point. The crest of this hill offers a fantastic panorama of Monument Valley... made famous by the movie!

Wildcat Trail

We'll hit our first detour at Wildcat Trail, where you can hop out walk into the valley itself.

John Ford’s Point

As we follow the trail deeper into Monument Valley, we'll learn more about the Navajo, the mythical buried silver, and their struggle to defend their land against the ever-encroaching colonists. We'll learn about the Long March of the Navajo, the Navajo Code Talkers of WWII, and the Navajo families on the reservation land today. We'll also explore the depiction of the Navajo in Western movies -- specifically in John Ford's Hollywood.

Artist’s Point

As we learn, we're also driving. The tour brings us next to Artist's Point. This overlook, unsurprisingly, is famously popular among painters and illustrators. Countless artists have set up canvasses here and recreated this stunning landscape with paint and brush.

North Window Overlook

Our drive continues towards the North Window Overlook, a picture-perfect spot for the sunrise. Those morning rays illuminating the buttes and spires of Monument Valley aren’t something you’ll soon forget! Even if you're here after sunrise, the vistas are unparalleled.

Camel Butte

Finally, we're at the last incredible vista of the tour: Camel Butte and Elephant Butte. Camel Butte might not look especially like a camel, but when you’re naming rocks you have to get creative! Camel Butte almost hits 1,000 feet but pales in comparison to its sibling, Elephant Butte, stretching over 1,000 feet high. Now that might be impressive on its own, but remember that you’re on a plateau right now which is already raised around 5,000 feet. That means the peak of Elephant Butte is more than 6,000 feet above sea level!

Already at dawn at the entrance to the park. The slowly rising sun is constantly changing the landscape. Fine to do with a regular car, if you drive quietly. But this gives you enough time to see everything properly.

the visit was beautiful, breathtaking views. The APP worked properly offline even without a connection, as long as the GPS was working. The fact of being able to stop and resume at will is much appreciated, you are not tied to any timetable or group, in fact the fact of being in your own car is advisable due to the dust you get when going on organized tours that use open vehicles. I definitely recommend it
