    Hiking

    Named after movie director John Ford, this viewpoint gives you one of the most spectacular views of the entire Monument Valley.

    It became very popular after being the most famous Marlboro sign, showing the cowboy with this incredible background.

    Hiking

    We experience the impressive Monument Valley on a 1.5-hour tour. We are accompanied by an experienced Navajo guide who leads us through the valley and introduces us to the diverse Native American culture. During several photo stops we have the opportunity to take a look at the monumental rock formations.

    The terrain of Monument Valley is ancient, resilient and breathtakingly beautiful. This distinctive landscape was created by the erosion of the sandstone deposits of the Rocky Mountains and geological uplift and was further shaped over many centuries by the relentless forces of wind and water.
