What to bring
Please keep in mind that all tours will take you to some very beautiful yet secluded locations. It is recommended that you bring the following items with you:
Hat/Sunscreen
The Mittens may cast long shadows, but the sun will find you while you are on your tour. Skin protection is highly encouraged.
Closed-toe shoes
The scenery is beautiful, but the terrain can be rough in spots. We recommend you wear shoes with good traction that will protect your feet from thorns.
Layered clothing
Weather in the valley can be very unpredictable. Windstorms can and do occur without warning throughout the year. These storms can bring lightning, rain or snow with them, depending on the season.
Water/Snacks
Water is provided on all tours, but you are encouraged to bring a water bottle and any light snacks that you may want to carry with you.
Camera
Of course, you wouldn't want to forget a camera to take pictures of the breathtaking mountains of Monument Valley.
*Taxes extra. Please consult with the front desk or your tour guide if you have any questions.
