Kayenta Parks & Gardens

Located along the northern Arizona, southern Utah border, Monument Valley is a vast valley boasting dramatic red sandstone buttes and pinnacles that rise up from the surrounding desert. Most of the natural monuments are situated in the Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park, the equivalent to a national park but owned and operated by the Navajo Nation. Visitors can witness the famous landscape via a 17-mi (27-km) dirt road which travels through the park or via guided tours, horseback rides and overnight camping trips. The park is open year round for self-guided tours while all guided tours and the visitor center operate between March and September. Access and tour fees apply.
