Itinerary

  • Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park

    The Navajo culture has thrived on the land between the Four Scared Mountains, and those teachings have been inherited through generations of verbal and lesson teaching methods. Some of these teachings are shared with you during the Cultural Tour by your Navajo guide. The Cultural, 3.5 hour tour makes a first stop at the famous John Ford’s Point where many of John Wayne’s western cinematic movies were filmed. Next, your guide will drive to The Backcountry of the park and escort you to the “Sun’s Eye Arch" and Hogan Demonstration.  At “Sun’s Eye Arch” you will be standing at a specific degree to look up into the rock arch and see why it is named Sun’s Eye. At the same location you will also see Petroglyphs and hear your guide’s stories. Next, you will travel to the “Big Hogan.” The Big Hogan is a great place to take family pictures and lie against the rocks and feel its warmth. Your guide will provide stories and suggest great photo shots. The last stop in the Backcountry is the “Ear of the Wind.” This is the largest arch in the park, and your guide will escort you to a photogenic spot where you can take photographs. Next, you will be guided to the Totem Pole and Yei Bi Cheii Monuments where you will be able to take photographs and hear the cultural stories behind each monument. The last stop is at the North Window where you will have a chance to take pictures of the Mittens and Butte at a different angle. Your tour guide will then slowly and safely transport you back to your departure point. Unfortunately, we cannot give much information about our guides’ stories because each guide has very uniquely different stories to tell. Our guides’ stories come from personal experience, lore, legends and the Navajo culture.

Great guide (Harry), BEAUTIFUL scenery!

Published on Jan, 2025

We had a very engaging tour Guide—Harry, who was knowledgeable about the site. The Valley is lovely, and we enjoyed it!!

The way the area should be experienced

Published on Jan, 2025

Outstanding tour. Our guide Steven was great - generous with his knowledge and extremely patient with all our questions. This is the way the area should be experienced - grounded in the knowledge, voice and experience of the Dineh people. The tour is really well balanced between stories, history, site viewing and experiencing Dineh living culture like the hogan and the music. The 3.5 hours flew by and our kids aged 6,10 and 15 loved every minute. Highly recommend this tour.

Simply amazing experience!

Our guide Jon was incredible! The knowledge he has and his willingness to share it is wonderful. The sights we saw and the beauty of monument valley is stunning. We cannot recommend Jon and Dineh Bekeyah Tours enough.

We took the 3.5 cultural tour. The tour guide was terrific. The views were beautiful and the cultural history was fascinating. It was nice to get off the main path that most tourists take. Also saw some nice pictographs. Tour guide John was great.

Terrific tour
