We've visited monument valley several times over the years, we never got to do the tribal loop drive. It was sort of a disappointment as it was dust filled and way too many cars. There aren't many opportunities to get of your car without it being a parking lot full of vendors and other tourist. I don't think I'll do that loop again any time soon. Too bad there wasn't more hiking and other chances to really explore the area. They do offer paid guides that can give you that experience for about $200 a pop
