After wanting to go to Monument Valley for about three years. I just decided to book a room at the View and am so glad I did. A wonderful place to view the Mittens!! We took a tour and also glad I did, the road would have been to much for my car. I just was taken away by the... More

We drove to the View hotel complex and sat at the cafe/restaurant outside for lunch and ogling the monuments. Since we had a rental sedan car we decided not to drive through the park's gravel roadways and bouncing around in a jeep tour doesn't do much for our bad backs and knees. So we drove to several places and took... More

It only costs $5 to visit Monument Valley - yet its the sort of attraction you'd happily pay $50 to see. The views will seem familiar as they've been featured in just about every media possible. The Navajo really take care of their attraction, and have invested in the car park, the visitor centre, a shopping complex etc - and... More

One of the most impressive landscape locations in the USA. If this was on US land, it would be a famous National Park, but because it is located within an indian reservation, it does not have a national designation. The landscape is unique in that there is probably nowhere in the US that looks anything like Monument Valley. The location... More

Monument Valley is the quintessential West with sweeping vistas and red rock colors. We spent two nights and did both a jeep and a horseback ride to get a feel for the place. I recommend both. The jeep trip gets you into the little traveled parts of the valley and the horseback ride gets you into the mood. Both trips... More

We had a wonderful time visiting Navajo Veterans Park during the National Navajo Code Talkers Day. Seeing the Window Rock, Veterans Memorial, etc was breath taking. More

Went into the park and drove the 17 mile road (a lot of people drove regular cars, I would not recomend this) a wonderful sight. Also stayed at the View Hotel. All the rooms had a view of the valley, simply great. Make sure you get up for sunrise, well worth it. More

My wife and I just returned from a September visit to Colorado, having decided to take a swing into Utah to see John Ford's cowboy country in Monument Valley. We were blown away by the enormity and beauty of the place. We'd been to Sedona a couple of years ago and loved it there, but the rock formations here dwarf... More
