My husband and I spent the night in Flagstaff, Arizona after visiting Monument Valley and also the Four Corners Monument.
While in Flagstaff, we found two very cute Little Free Libraries!!

2583 N Grey Fox Way, Flagstaff, AZ 86004 My husband and I stayed in Monument Valley for three full days. Monument Valley is managed by the Navajo Nation and is part of the Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park. It was our first visit to Monument Valley and I hope it won't be our last visit! |
If you haven't been Monument Valley before, it's a massive region of land that is very remote!! We stayed four nights at the View Hotel, Premium Cabins, and RV/Campground. We chose to stay in one of the Premium Cabins, which is sort of like glamping. The Premium Cabin comes with a full bathroom, bedroom, and main living area that has a full sized refrigerator, microwave, kitchen sink, coffee machine, dining table, sofa, and outdoor seating area. Plus, heating and air conditioner too.
I liked the privacy of the Premium Cabins at The View Hotel, but next time I think we will stay inside the View Hotel itself as the cabins are about a half mile away from the hotel and located on unpaved roads. Plus, staying at The View Hotel is closer to dining at the hotel itself and the tour pick up area for Navajo guided tours of Monument Valley.

We did take a three hour tour of Monument Valley with a Navajo tour company called Native Spirit Tours. There are several Navajo businesses that offer tours of Monument Valley. We absolutely loved our guided tour from Native Spirit Tours and wouldn't hesitate using them again in the future or recommend them to others. Below are a few photos taken during our guided tour of Monument Valley.

Have you visited Monument Valley before?
I understand that spring and autumn are the best times of the year to visit Monument Valley for the milder weather... Not too hot, nor too cold weather wise.
Gorgeous photos of Monument Valley and the rock formations. Thx for the info on where to stay. I have been to Monument Valley but it was a long time ago .... in the summer going into 8th grade in the 1970s .... we took a road & hiking trip around Arizona .... and saw it as well as hiked to the bottom of the Grand Canyon and a couple days later back up.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome! Thank you on the complement of the photos taken while at Monument Valley! The View Hotel with its campground and premium cabins is a new addition to the Monument Valley. The View Hotel opened in December 2008. It was built and staffed mostly by Navajo people and is the only lodging inside the Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park.
DeleteOh, how I wish we had visited Monument Valley when we took our big RV trip in 2018. We loved Flagstaff, and the Grand Canyon, but didn't take the time for MV. We went to the Petrified Forest and El Morro National Monument on that trip, as well. Maybe we need to take a return trip someday. (Posts about that trip are here.)
ReplyDeleteThis means you'll have to take another trip just to visit MV!! It's worth the trip. The View Hotel does have an RV spot as well as at least one other place somewhat nearby. I recommend The View Hotel space though for the views of MV alone and the closeness for MV tour pick-ups.
