Actually we knew up front that we will love the views :-). Yet seeing the reality is not the same as seeing pictures - monument valley is amazing, definitely one of the highlights of our Western USA tour. And then at sunset, with all the colors - simply beautiful.
Our tour guide was Sandrea - very knowledgable, kind person, with lot of experience with her land, so she knew where to be at what time to make great pictures, gave us good tips regarding perspective and a few creative ideas for iphone camera. Last but not least she was a source of information about Dineh (Navajo Nation) in generally and in this area in particular.
