Join this tour to witness a stunning sunset over the Monument Valley's iconic towering red sandstone buttes. Enjoy the moment and experience the magic of the changing colors and famous rock formations as the sun sets.
Embark on a tour of Monument Valley and discover the breathtaking monuments you’ve seen in photos and western movies. See the famous West and East Mitten Buttes, John Ford Point, the Three Sisters, Moccasin Arch, the Totem Pole, and more.
