Monument Magic - Definitely, A MUST DO! Cody, a tour guide, was very knowledgeable and taught us how the People view the land. A beautiful glimpse of the culture surrounded by a stark and beautiful valley. We got off the beaten path serval times to see less crowded areas. Petroglyphs, natural arches, a geological explanation with a demonstration explanation enhanced what you were seeing and how nature made these beautiful sights. He even showed how to take a better picture. Food was fantastic and the singing and dancing were well done. Levi, the dancer, was great and the explanation of why the dance was created and what it truly meant was insightful. We stopped at one area and listened to another guide play her flute. It just echoed through the canyon. I would highly recommend this tour and guide.

Great experience - Very nice trip to Navajo territory. The strong wind spoiled the visit a little and in the evening the cold was difficult to bear during the meal and subsequently during the intervention of the Indian chief, around a fire. Despite all this, it remains a great experience. I advise.
