    This is the spot to get the best photo of the famous Camel Butte rock formation!

      November 3, 2024

      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.

      Contrary to what some may assume, Monument Valley is not a national park but a tribal park as it lies within the boundaries of the Navajo Nation. The tribal park designation is important to preserve its unique heritage and geological wonders.

        Camel Butte is located 2.75 miles southeast of the Monument Valley Visitor Center on Navajo Nation land. Its name refers to its resemblance to a seated camel facing west.
