This was a bucket list place. It far exceed my expectations. The natural beauty blew my sister and myself away. If you can possibly drive your vehicle down into the valley that's the best way. You can take your time to just...enjoy the awe and air of it all. Words can't really explain the feelings you have when you go down to see what is there. I ask some natives of the area if the view ever gets old and they all said NO! I can understand that lol.

I’ve been wanting to visit Monument Valley ever since I saw Clark Griswold make his journey through the desert, and I’m so glad I finally went. First thing is first, the loop drive is not that bad. We had an SUV, but saw many similar vehicles and sedans making the drive. A higher clearance vehicle definitely helps but it wasn’t a requirement when we went. Yes, you need to drive slowly, be cautious, avoid pot holes and share the road with others (sometimes waiting for oncoming traffic to pass so you can drive on the better side to avoid a rough area), but it is doable. Of course the recent weather can have an effect on road conditions, making them worse, but our driving experience was nothing to complain about. It is a rough road and may do some long term wear and tear on your vehicle, but if you’re careful it can be done by the average driver. The scenery is beautiful and an absolute bargain for the entrance fee. We loved seeing the iconic spots that were familiar from the movies, but each spot in the drive was unique. Would recommend a visit to anyone!

It was our 2d time there but 1st time with a SUV so we decided to drive in the valley. The beginning of the tour is quite rough on the car and our backs, but it's easier afterwards. The view are very nice from down there, it's definitely a plus to drive though it rather than just looking at it from the visitor's centre. If we had to do it again, it would be later in the day to see part of it at sunset.

In anyone's language this is undeniably a must-see place. How you do it is up to you, but to really experience the land, culture and history, you really need to go on a guided tour with a Navajo guide. Not only do they go into detail you can't possibly get from a book or by self-touring, they take you to unique parts of the Valley to really immerse you in the whole experience. Plus they know the best spots for taking the perfect photo, and heaven knows there's plenty of those opportunities. The price for me as realistic too. We paid around £70 each for a 3.5 hour sunset guide which included unlimited bottled water. An unforgettable experience.

We had a wonderful tour w Vera. We traveled on part of the scenic drive but then went out in the outback of monument valley and she pointed out amazing rock formations such as the Suns Eye, camel & elephant Butte and petroglyphs by Anasazi people We learned about the many films and commercials that were filmed at Monument Valley. In the Navajo land we stopped and learned a bit about their way of life and culture. She was very personable and ended the tour with a beautiful song, that was a chant that her father sang to her and her 11 siblings. I would highly recommend this tour.

How fun it was to see this famous view that I have seen so often in pop culture. Be careful driving though, because people are all over the road getting pictures. You feel so small, but so alive! Definitely drive through here, but be sure to make a reservation!

Amazing natural beauty, came back after 15 years, well worth it. Stunning views. Follow the trails by car (SUV only, don't attempt with a saloon car you will regret it as the tracks are rocky and very rough in places). Many opportunities for amazing pictures.

The first time we visited Monument Valley (staying at The View Hotel), we took a Navajo guided tour of the monuments, which was great. This time, we drove our own car, around the designated trail (TRIBAL PARK LOOP) without having to pay a cent. Obviously, you don’t get the informative commentary of a local, but I think most tourists remember none of what we’re told anyway. The self Drive still takes in all the main highlights, and at the end of the day, it’s the scenery that most of us are there for. The track is a little rough in spots, but a regular sedan is capable of completing the trip. Just take it slow, avoid the soft sand, and you’ll be fine. A 4WD is not required. We completed the round trip in under 2 hours, so I’d recommend starting the loop by 2pm , to avoid any stress.

What a beautiful place to drive through. $8 per person to enter. We drove the 17 mile loo-A little bumpy not bad. There are several pull offs for pictures. There were several Native Americans selling beautiful jewelry . Scenic beauty everywhere. A nice gift shop & hotel overlooking the valley! Just stunning.

It was the most amazing experience of my life. If the Grand Canyon is Wonderful, Monument Valley is majestic. We also did the horse back ride, guieded for a navaja named Eric who took us to famous movie places and really near of the atonishing rock formations, what a treat it was. This Park is absolutely a must see, minimally, once in a lifetime.
