Oljato-Monument Valley Travel Guide

Tourist Guide

So far from anything, so hard to get to, but so worth it. The local Navajo Guides with Jeeps for hire will laugh when you say you're thinking of doing this 17-mile loop through the most famous buttes of Monument Valley in a small car, but go ahead and do it. Carefully. We saved $170 and were able to maneuver through the gulleys and rocks just fine. Driving ourselves enabled us to decide how long to spend at each spot, and whether to keep driving or get out and hike at our whim. Take water and lunch! #Navajo #MonumentValley #Arizona #landscape

“John Wayne Point” at Monument Valley,AZ.
Monument Valley. Monument Valley has been featured in many films including the John Ford classic, Stagecoach with John Wayne. The “monuments” in the valley illicit feelings of being on the surface of another planet. #culture
Western movie anyone?!

10/10 Exceptional! (2 reviews)
Dark Canyon was indeed a great off grid experience. The 360-degree views around the cabin with no other humans around offered something not found very often. Sitting on the deck at sunset while enjoying a glass of whiskey and looking at the Bears Ears was truly a western experience. The sunrises ...
