Places such as Ear of the Wind and other landmarks can only be accessed via guided tours Since we were there in December, guided tours were not available so we took the tour with our own car. You can also purchase guided tours from Navajo tour operators, who take you down into the valley in Jeeps for a narrated cruise through these mythical formations. Monument Valley Visitor Centerįrom the visitor center, we saw the world-famous panorama of the Mitten Buttes and Merrick Butte. As you enter the park, there is a 20 dollar pass that you need to take for entry. The angle of the sun accents these graceful formations, providing scenery that is simply spellbinding. These are framed by scenic clouds casting shadows that roam the desert floor. This great valley has sandstone monuments that tower at heights of 400 to 1,000 feet. Navajo nation’s Monument Valley Tribal Park is one of the most majestic and the most photographed place on the earth.

Both side of the road its vast land, buttes, and rustic charm all the way.

On December 23rd, it was bright and sunny day, perfect for our road trip.
