Sandrea was our guide and she was absolutely magnificent. She was patient and showed us all of the top photo opportunities. She brought us to a beautiful spot and even shared a Native American song with us in a very special way. This tour was magical! I highly recommend it to anyone who will be in the area and it is worth getting up early to experience the magic.

We went on the Extended Sunrise tour with guide Bruce Lee (sp?). He picked us up exactly on time at The View Hotel and we proceeded to go down into Monument Valley. He knew the best locations to position us for photos as the sun glowed below the horizon and later when it rose above the horizon. He took us well into the back country to access these locations. In passing I asked about petroglyphs, and he took us to see two different locations with many petroglyphs and some ancient building ruins. It was a wonderful tour and he delivered back to The View Hotel right on time (and in time for breakfast). Highly recommend!
