I planned that this would be an exciting trip and Monument Valley Safari and my guide Toney did not disappoint. The views were stunning. Toney made you feel at ease during the entire excursion given, for example, the drive up the Mesa could only be handled by someone like him having unique driving skills. He was very accommodating to give me time to take photos on the way up, on top and and on the way down the next morning. He also pointed out the best vantage points for taking photographs. Toney also did a wonderful job preparing dinner and breakfast at the campsite. You will not go hungry.

The Monument Valley Safari 18-hour overnight campout is an excursion well worth taking. I booked a tour for my daughter and I in mid-September. The tour departs from one of four locations. We departed from the View Hotel. Our guide, a Navajo man named Toney made this overnight excursion a real adventure. We departed the View Hotel in mid-afternoon; our destination Hunts Mesa. There’s a 30 to 40-minute drive on public roads followed by about 90 minutes off-road. Along the half hour or so ride on paved roads, Toney pointed out several prominent rock formations and their names as known by the locals. Once the trip leaves the paved road there is a good distance of relatively flat dirt road before the drive gets real interesting. As we progressed our way on the dirt road the terrain begins to change and become rocky and more inclined. Toney handled the heavy-duty Chevy SUV with expertise that can only come with years of practice. He told us that he had been in this line of work for over 20 years and had a real passion for the land. There were parts of the drive where he had to get out of the vehicle and build up some low spots in the terrain, so the truck could make it up some very steep inclines. At other points along the way, the path (I use this term loosely) is narrow and there are some views out the window of sheer drop-offs. It’s an exhilarating drive! We made a stop along the way where we got out and scampered up a small hill to take in a beautiful landscape. After taking several photos, we jumped back in the SUV and continued to a part of the Mesa where we would spend several hours exploring and photographing extraordinary views of Buttes and Mesas. When we arrived at this spot, Toney walked us around and pointed out some good spots to take photos and watch the sunset. At this point he told us he would leave us there to explore while he drove to another spot on the Mesa where he would set up camp and get everything prepared to cook dinner. He said he would be back after the sun went down. We spent a few hours capturing some of the most beautiful and iconic landscapes I have ever seen. As sunset approached we set-up our tripods on a nice flat rock where could take photos and enjoy the last rays of the day. Once the sun dropped below the horizon, we made our way back to the rendezvous point and waited for Toney to return as the last remnants of daylight disappeared. When you go, make sure to bring a jacket or sweat shirt (when the sun goes down it gets a little chilly), a flashlight, and some snacks. Toney supplied us bottled water. We joked around that if something happens to him we had no idea where we were. Somehow or other being in the middle of nowhere we still had okay cell coverage; that made us feel better. It wasn’t too long after it had become pitch black that we could hear the sound of the 4x4 SUV approaching and then the bright head lights piercing through the darkness of night. We jumped in with our camera gear and proceeded to make our way to the campsite. The drive to the campsite wasn’t too long or as rugged as the drive in, but it was nonetheless just as exciting due to the cover of darkness. As the campsite came in to view, we could see the light of a nice camp fire that Toney had built. There were two picnic tables near the fire pit and off to one side a good-sized tent. We got out and Toney began to prepare dinner. When we made our reservation for the trip, we had requested steak for dinner. That was an excellent choice. He had potatoes already baking in some hot coals of the fire and threw some foil wrapped corn-on-the-cob and a foil packet of mushrooms and onions on cast iron grate positioned over the hot coals. After the vegetables had some cooking time, he put the steaks on and cooked them medium rare as we requested. When the food was ready, we all sat at one of the tables and he served Navajo flat bread and long hot green peppers. Toney went well beyond our expectations with the meal. As we ate he told stories of his childhood and formative years. He’s a great story teller; slow and deliberate. Over the course of the meal and beyond, the conversation wandered around many topics including nature, spiritualism, and current events. We both enjoyed his company. After dinner and conversation, we set-up our tripods and cameras to try our hand at night sky photography. Hailing from the mid-Atlantic east coast, we don’t have the opportunity to really see the night sky due to light pollution. The sky was magnificent! As Toney went about cleaning up dinner he checked in with us to see how we were coming along with night sky photography. After explaining that we had never tried it before, he made a quick call to one of his brothers who was a local photographer. He put me on the phone with him and he gave me some tips on how to capture the stars. As it got later Toney said goodnight and climbed in the SUV to go to sleep. We stayed up a bit enjoying the night and then got in the tent to catch some sleep as well. The tent was sizable, and he had two thick ground pads and heavy-duty sleeping bags all set up. A little before dawn Toney got up and gave us a wake-up shout so we could get sunrise photos. He showed us a nice area not too far from camp to set up and then went back to the campsite to start breakfast and coffee. We spent some time taking sunrise shots and the landscape under early morning light. Once we had all the photos we wanted, we walked back, and Toney had hot coffee ready and was ready to cook eggs and sausage. He also had set out orange juice and fresh fruit and berries. After breakfast we broke down camp, loaded the SUV, and made our way down off the Mesa. He took a slightly different way back that shaved a little time off the trip back to the View Hotel. Our trip from the east coast to the southwest included other areas of natural beauty as well as Monument Valley. My daughter and I both agreed that this was the highlight of our trip and wouldn’t hesitate to do it again. I will say that our guide Toney and the folks at Monument Valley Safari provide superior service that not only met but exceed our expectations.
