Your visit to Monument Valley includes an off road tour in a specially converted pick up truck, driven by a Navajo guide. Amongst the sites you generally see are Anasazi ruins, petroglyphs, movie locations and 1000 feet high monoliths.  The tour explores all the famous monuments, plus visits the restricted area, which contains many rock windows and arches.

Monument Valley is the epicenter of the west for many fans of old western movies, 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. 

The buttes, mesas and other sandstone formations that are so prevalent in the Monument Valley area are a favorite of visitors from all over the world. 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.    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.
