Oljato-Monument Valley

Travel 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

9/10 Wonderful! (2,220 reviews)
This is the best hotel in the area. Most rooms view out toward monument valley. We got lucky with our room and could sit outside at sunset and watch the sky change colors over the buttes. The restaurant was also awesome. If I ever come back to this area again (I’d like to) I’ll definitely be staying ...

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 ...

Oljato-Monument Valley
Valley Drive, located near the Utah-Arizona state line in Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park, is a 17-mile scenic loop through one of the most iconic landscapes in the Southwest, USA. This spot along the road is named John Ford Point, after the director who used it as a location for numerous Western films. Visitors can pay a few dollars to a local horse owner who is stationed in the parking lot to recreate the famous image of a horse rider perched on the edge of the plateau. This horse was aptly named “Pistol”.
