Wonderful

What a great adventure. The park was closed to cars because of a big rain storm. I'm so grateful we got to see by booking a tour. Our guide was just the best. She made the ride so enjoyable. We loved her personal touches.

Great tour and guide!

Our guide was very knowledgeable, and gave us a great perspective from the women's point of view. Our guys thought it would have been good to get the Navajo mens point of view also. All in all very good tour would recommend to friends.

Tour of red rock Canyon

Due to flooding, we cannot go on our regular tour however, our guy took us on a fantastic tour of another area of the park. Tour guide was great and experience was fantastic.

Exploring the fabulous Monument Valley

Spending the night at the View Hotel gave us ample opportunity to admire the extraordinary views over Monument Valley. These powerful rocks are among the best views in my life! Exploring the canyon became a necessity. We loved the excursion which gave us access to other fabulous views over a near 17 mi circuit. A great addition was the guide and his many, detailed and clever explanations!
