First, I should explain that our trip to Monument Valley followed two days each at Zion and Arches and one day at Bryce Canyon and their respective surrounds. From Moab we took an easy drive to MV and arrived for an early lunch at the View hotel, where we would be staying for the evening. We booked a 3.5 hour... More

The Monument Valley has awesome views and topography. The road that you can take during your visit, however, is not worth taking unless you want to tear up your vehicle. Perhaps this is a way to get visitors to purchase one of the tours that are sold. The next time i would forgo the $10 entrance fee (National Park passes... More

Majestic. Incredible. Awe inspiring. Those words all describe Monument Valley as a destination. I've been fortunate enough to travel to about 25 countries around the world, and Monument Valley ranks at or near the top for a destination. I should also point out that I am a very serious amateur photographer that travels domestically and internationally to photographically capture beautiful... More

It was one of my dreams to get there and I was not disappointed. However, beware of the road conditions of the 17 mile loop. It get can get quite tough at times. High clearance recommended.

The road through Monument Valley is fascinating -- and unpaved. It is a bit bumpy, but, our compact rental car did ok. Check out the little museum which had an interesting display on Code Talkers.

We drove the 17-mile loop and it was really beautiful. We also went on a horseback tour which we loved (I reviewed that separately), and we ate at The View restaurant (also separate review).
