Monument Valley

Stayed at the View Campground in one of the cabins in Monument Valley. Worth it for the amazing sunrise. The drive around the valley was fantastic. I would definitely recommend four wheel drive and decent clearance. We saw some couples in small cars on the rocky sections really struggle.

Beautiful and majestic place with good roads. The scenic route is worth it with many great views! You pay 9 dollars per person at the entrance and that’s it! They give you a useful map. Overall very worth it!

Monument Valley Tribal Park within the Navajo Nation is an awe-inspiring testament to nature's artistry. The towering sandstone formations, with their majestic spires and mesas, create a mesmerizing panorama that seems straight out of a cinematic masterpiece. Driving through the park's scenic loop offers breathtaking views of iconic landmarks like the Mittens, Merrick Butte, and the vast open desert stretching to the horizon. Exploring Monument Valley is a spiritual journey, immersing visitors in the rich culture and history of the Navajo people while marveling at the geological wonders sculpted by time. The striking red hues at sunrise and sunset transform the landscape into a vibrant canvas, making every moment a photographer's dream. Visiting Monument Valley Tribal Park is an unforgettable experience, evoking a sense of wonder and reverence for the raw beauty of the American Southwest. It's a must-see destination that leaves an indelible mark on the soul, showcasing the timeless allure of the Navajo Nation's natural and cultural heritage.

I considered Monument Valley to be a “must see” on our road trip. We stayed in one of the cabins on-site so we could see the sunrise. I was not at all disappointed. We had a Navajo guide for our tour; he gave a lot of insight to Native inhabitants and lifestyle.

The place is definitely worth visiting! You pay $15 for vehicle and have a chance to see all these breathtaking rock forms by driving to them. There are several stops on the route for admiring the views and taking photos. I would suggest spending here 2-3 hours.
