Monument Valley, a red-sand desert region on the Arizona-Utah border, is known for the towering sandstone buttes of Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park. The park, frequently a filming location for Western movies, is accessed by the looping, 17-mile Valley Drive. The famous, steeply sloped Mittens buttes can be viewed from the road or from overlooks such as John Ford’s Point. ― Google

Here is a list of hotels, tours, and other points of interest for you.

Goulding’s Lodge: [ Ссылка ]
There is a nice restaurant in the hotel – I suggest you order the Navajo Taco!
Also, a Chevron gas station right outside the hotel is open until 9 pm.
A really nice market is right outside the hotel across from the gas station and they have groceries as well as sandwiches for day trips.

Red Rock Luxury Home: [ Ссылка ]

This is a 3-bedroom house that you can get and is part of Goulding’s Lodge. It is very private and if it is available I highly recommend it.

The View Hotel: [ Ссылка ]
Premium Cabins: [ Ссылка ]

The cabins are small but very private and a great way to experience Monument Valley. I highly recommend a cabin if available.

17 Mile Scenic Loop:
To get into the park drive to the View Hotel. There will be a booth and depending on party size and vehicle you will need to pay for entry – for us, it was $20.00. With that entry pass, you can pull to the far end of the parking lot where the cabins are and a security guard will let your vehicle into the 17-mile loop. There are a few Outhouses about 2 miles in. I suggest using the View Hotel Gift shop bathrooms before entering. At this time there is a 2-hour time limit for the scenic drive. The road ranges from smooth dirt to rocky type dirt roads and our rented Ford Bronco did just fine on all of the roads. A compact car may have some trouble in certain areas so an SUV does better in my opinion. No drones are allowed in Monument Valley.
