About The Tour

The Road to Monument Valley is like being dropped into your favorite Western film. The dusty roads hug the San Juan River, breaking out into views of otherworldly red-sandstone monoliths. Along the way, visitors can explore some of the most stunning state parks, monuments, and scenic drives, all while learning about the local geology, local culture, and film history.

Here are just a few of the fun things you can do on the tour!

• Drive the steep, winding Moki Dugway for thrilling switchbacks and breathtaking views of the surrounding desert and canyonlands.

• Marvel at the dramatic, winding curves of the San Juan River from Goosenecks State Park, showcasing one of the best examples of entrenched river meanders.

• Explore the stunning red rock formations and sweeping desert landscapes of the Valley of the Gods.

• Admire the unique Mexican Hat Rock, a large, balanced rock formation resembling a sombrero, set against a backdrop of desert beauty.

• Take in the expansive, panoramic views from Muley Point, where you can see vast canyons, distant mountains, and the winding San Juan River below.

We just completed the Mt. Lemmon Tour and thoroughly enjoyed it including the music during breaks. In the springtime we did the Monument Valley Tour. Another excellent tour!!!

Loved this app! We found things we never would have found on our own. The Hawaiian music set the mood and the stories were interesting and fun! You should add the Iao State Monument though. We had trouble getting Google and Siri to get directions for it. And no fun stories for it either! Keep up the good work!
