Information About The Local Vicinity
The Monument Valley Navajo Park

The Navajo Nation Department of Parks and Recreation manages the Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park.
An entrance fee is to be paid upon entry, they do not accept park passes of any kind. During the spring and summer months, entry to the park is slow and may take up to an hour in some cases.
Since the pandemic, entry into the valley drive is also limited due to the Navajo Nation Health Department’s COVID-19 protocols and other mandates. This will further your wait to get in to see the park, our tour company bypasses the valley drive wait line.
It’s best to make reservations online, arrival without a reservation may result in higher fees for any kind of tour into Monument Valley.
Confusing Time Changes In The Area

Time zones are confusing in the region. We operate within the Mountain Standard time zone that uses Daylight Savings time. Time changes in March and in November, so before arriving, or planning a tour, make sure you arrive at the right time. Most of Arizona does not use the Daylight savings time system, they do not change their times.
