What to expect
Monument Valley is a region of the Colorado Plateau characterized by a cluster of sandstone buttes, with the largest reaching 1,000 ft above the valley floor. The valley is considered sacred by the Navajo Nation and has been featured in many forms of media since the 1930s. Visitors can pay an access fee and drive through the park on a 17-mile dirt road, which offers scenic views of the buttes and surrounding landscape. Guided tours are also available, which can take visitors deeper into the valley and provide insight into the history and culture of the area. The valley has a desert climate with cold winters and hot summers, and visitors should be prepared for extreme weather conditions. Monument Valley is a unique and breathtaking destination that offers a glimpse into the natural beauty and rich cultural heritage of the American West

Road trip: the Western United States with family
Activities: We galloped in Monument Valley with a Navajo Indian guide. It's a decor "like in American movies." We enjoyed the kindness of a passionate Navajo guide, the red sand that rises behind our galloping horses. We took a horseback ride with a guide and it was an unforgettable experience
Highlights: We had a huge crush on this fantastic landscape, a must of the American road trip! We were delighted by this mythical Western setting as soon as we arrived by road. The possibility of being almost alone makes it not annoying (like it can be at the Grand Canyon for example) ✨
