p.2 #2 · A few images from Monument Valley and Escalante
Astrodave,
Yes, before coming to Monument Valley, reading all sorts of horror stories from other visitors on how much expensive to go on the tours there, and on and on...mostly negative. It might have been true before, but this time, my first visit there, all I can say is that the services and courtesy from these people who work at the View motel are first class. The foods were superb, and the location and view can't be beat. Don't know what else to say. I did not go on any tour, just because I had my car...so my experiences with the tours or tour guide is nil. But this is what I would do if I don't have 4x4 or trucks: Rent a 4x4 for a day or two, the price should be same or a little more expensive to the regular tour that 2 or 4 people would take.
All in all, this is one of my favorite places that I've visited besides Zion, The Narrows.
