These were 2 memorable adventures for our girls trip this year.
We went with Eli on both tours.
First an exhilarating UTV ride to the Kachina panel. Stunning pictographs in the perfect light to take photos. Learned much about the Din’e and their migratory farming practices and possible meanings of the art.
Then to river house ruin and nearby granary. Up close access but with respect to the ancient archeology and concern for guests safety. Further history and possible meanings of the “starry rock art and how granaries were sealed to preserve seed for the next generation.
In the evening, Eli drove us through the Valley of the Gods, up the Moki dugway to Mulkey point. Rain threatened but was showering around us and provided stunning light on the rocks, views and 2 halfs of a stunning rainbow.
Eli is an expert driver, very knowledgeable, great with people and shared his stories with tallest respect for the culture and a wonderful sense of good humor.
Everyone knows that Sunrise and Sunset in Monument Valley is magical. What they don’t know is they can get the same experience in Valley of the Gods without sharing it with hundreds of other people. We’ll drive you through monolithic sandstone towers and then climb up the Moki Dugway ascending 1200 feet in less than 3 miles of steep switchbacks. With breathtaking views in every direction you’ll be grateful you skipped the crowds and joined us for a sunset you’ll never forget.
