In a nutshell
Some of the most inspiring desert scenery in the world.
Africancrab Says: We drove our car through the valley, at the beginning it was quite scary as the road and terrain in general is rough and steep. Having a 4x4 will help, we did not have a 4 wheel drive, so we were extra careful going down hill. We did not have a guide either(you do not need...
Africancrab Says: It is obvious why this rock formation was named three sisters. They stick out from one foundation into three different branches. It is nothing shot of interesting that the name was a result of someone's imagination. Nonetheless, the name has stuck and they rocks are...
Africancrab Says: My family and I, arrive in Monument valley at sunset after a day in Canyon de Shay. We decided to spend a night at the Hampton Inn and tour the valley at sunrise the following morning. Nothing prepares you for what you see when you enter this Navajo land. Unless you have...
Watch the sunrise over the desert
Segolily Says: You'll have to get up early, and stand in the cold and dark, but the views and photos will be worth it. The desert is quiet in the morning, holding its breath, waiting. The breeze can bring scents of sagebrush, the rush of a bird, the scurrying of the lizards. With the wide...
Christophe01 Says: Trail accessible by car but you must drive slowly. The most difficult place to drive is the beginning of the trail, the scenic drive is 17 miles.Also envisage a car wash because it will be repainted in red with the dust.☼☼Avoid the track the following days of...
solopes Says: Imagination and the need to identify specific points in natural ambiance lead people to give a name to any odd formation. Three thin rocks got the name of "The Three Sisters". OK for me. But imagination never ends, and we may keep on saying, for instance that the younger one...
solopes Says: Each rock, each trail, each natural incident has its name and history. You may go in search of detail, therefore needing a couple of days, or, as most of us do, just have a general look and feel the place. The strength of the emotional revival hurts you immediately upon...
Christophe01 Says: There is possibility of horseback riding, it's stupid but we had no time to try it. On site there was a Navajo family who was selling some necklaces and bracelets. These people were very nice and the father asked us to teach him a few words in French to speak with future...
Christophe01 Says: The visitor center fits in perfectly into the landscape. There is a very nice souvenir shop inside. Some items are authentically Navajo but many are made ​​in China. There is a big price difference.

Goulding's Stagecoach Dining Room: Nice views, good food
Segolily Says: We only ate breakfast here. The choices were good, leaning toward using local ingredients and items. Food is something I almost always enjoy when someone else makes it for me. So I'm not too critical. We enjoyed our meal, service was friendly and prompt. I would recommend...
solopes Says: Our package included a "Navajo meal". We had it, in the visitor centre. It was a big salad, with a great variety of vegetables, and, to be honest, I found no great differences to commom americam salads. A regular lunch, with nothing to remember or to complaint, and without...
solopes Says: For a Portuguese, used to have everything close to his door, driving those many hundred kilometers along the desert would be hard work, not holidays. That's why, saving some money in Las Vegas, we made it by air, with great advantages. It's expensive? Maybe. But... it was...
Roy Black's Jeep Horse & Hiking Tours
vichatherly Says: We had a great time in Monument Valley with Roy Black's Tours.We arranged for a 2 1/2 hour tour, via email from the UK, but after finding that we had more time to do the Valley Drive than we originally thought we changed plans and went for the half day tour instead.Brenda,...
Excellent Shop in the View Hotel
vichatherly Says: The shop in View Hotel is excellent. It stocks the usual tee shirts and sweatshirts, but also it has some really nice local crafts made by the local Navajo residents.We bought a really nice soapstone chieftain. My wife nearly gave into the temptation of a cowboy hat, but...
giampiero6 Says: One of the most interesting experiences in the US is listening to the various radio broadcasts over diffenent language and cultural groups. It was a great free bonus for us to listen to the Navajo language broadcasts while we were in the area. They were a mix of country...
toonsarah Says: The Hogan is the traditional home of the Navajo, and is also the structure used for their ceremonial buildings. In the past it was made of sticks and earth, and was round in shape, but now is most commonly made of logs and consequently has to have straight sides – usually...
solopes Says: I made the war in Angola, and there, I felt the sensation of landing and taking off using improvised runways in compacted earth. For Fernanda, however, it has been her first situation of landing with no sights of tarmac. It was absolutely safe, but different. And at the end...
FinePickens Says: Beware of becoming enthralled with the scenery. It may cause you to overlook the beauty of the people. One of the great celebrations of Navajo life is the celebration of the first time a baby laughs out loud. They have a "Happiness Song" for a reason. Take time to visit an...
jumpingnorman Says: This unique rock formations are just by the roadside and are great for a little photoshoot :) Not sure about the history of these rocks but for sure, they have been there a loooooong time :)Address: US Hwy 160, Tonalea, AZDirections:On the north side of US 160, either 34...
toonsarah Says: You will know Monument Valley, even if you have never been here, as the backdrop to so many of the most famous Westerns, and a few other films too. The first, and perhaps the most famous, to be filmed here was Stagecoach in 1938. Others include: My Darling Clementine, The...
