We'll begin loading gear at 7:30am and will depart Phoenix by 8am.

Our outfitter will pick us up in the morning and we'll spend

Photographing a magnificent sunrise from the unique
perspective offered by Hunt’s Mesa will be our goal
in the morning.

make our way back to Kayenta, stopping to photograph a number
of wonderful sights along the way, including Spider Arch.

Monument Valley's many attractions are our subject
today during a full-day tour of the valley. We'll enjoy trips

Mittens and more. We may also visit the home of Navajo weaver
Susie Yazzie.
Day

Another half-day tour of Monument Valley gives you one last chance to capture the disctinctive character of the landscape. If time permits, we'll stop at Coal Mine Canyon
on the return drive.
