This 3.0-hour tour of Monument Valley takes place at either sunrise or sunset and uses a 4×4 vehicle, either an open-air safari vehicle or an enclosed SUV, to access areas that regular cars cannot reach. The guide meets guests in the lobby of their hotel and drives to Monument Valley Tribal Park, located on Navajo land. The tour includes stops at John Ford’s Point, known for its use in many John Wayne Western films and the movie Transformers: Age of Extinction. Next, the guide drives into the park’s backcountry to visit natural rock formations and arches. At Sun’s Eye Arch, guests stand at a specific spot to look up through the arch and see petroglyphs while the guide explains their significance. The tour also stops at the Big Hogan, where visitors can rest against sandstone walls and take photographs. Another stop is the Ear of the Wind, the largest arch in the park, viewed from a designated photo spot. The guide then takes guests to the Totem Pole and Yei Bi Cheii Monuments, sharing cultural stories about these formations. The tour continues to the North Window Overlook, which offers views of the Mitten and Merrick Buttes. Additional notable formations seen during the tour include West and East Mitten Buttes, Artist’s Point, Camel Butte, and Elephant Butte. Bottled water is provided, and hand sanitizers are available upon request. The tour is pet friendly. Entry fees to Monument Valley Tribal Park are not included. At the end of the tour, the guide drives guests safely back to their original departure point.
