Visitors love to see the buttes, mesas and other sandstone formations that are so prevalent in the Monument Valley area.  If the truth be told, Monument Valley is not really a valley at all, but a relatively flat plain surrounded by red cliffs, with the buttes, as well as the remnants of ancient volcanoes, rising from the surface. 

For many fans of old western movies, Monument Valley is the epicenter of the west, with so many great westerns, and other movies, having been filmed in the area.  The familiar rock shapes can be seen from many miles away, with the really great scenery to be seen on the Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park, which straddles the Utah/Arizona border. 

At the gateway to the park is a section of road with little huts on both sides, where you can shop for Navajo souvenirs, and sample Navajo Tacos and fry bread, foods that are unique to the Navajo Nation. 

The Navajos run tours through the park in modified pick up trucks.  These tours are included in our shared, multi day Grand Canyon tours.

We offer two different types of tours to the Monument Valley area.
