Awe-inspiring Monument Valley tour

We took this tour and probably was one of the best decisions. Monument valley is a MUST visit for people visiting north Arizona/south Utah. This tour covers the usual 17 mile loop and the extended backcountry including Hogan visits. There were floods in the area few days before the tour but the tour company made sure we could do the most of it after the Navajo Park was temporarily closed and re opened. We could not visit the entire backcountry but however much we did was an awesome experience. Seeing the giant monuments and soaking in details on history and culture of the Navajo people was something I would never miss. Overall, highly recommended.

Nature Wonderland

Fantastic nature experience, hardly to be described in words. Our tour guide Larry drove us in the jeep to the various rock formations, explained the names to us, and had something to say about everything. There was also a visit to a hogan. The very nice Navajo owner gave us an insight into her way of life. The tour is highly recommended!
