shrugs "I read a tag" -- 🤣lol, too funny

[@WereintheRockies]

LOL, I thought so too!

[@fsusarge]

C'mon guys...I can't believe you didn't list "ride with the Navajo" as a MUST DO thing. Not only is it a thrilling experience but the support for the Navajo people is much appreciated. And I see they've still got the same mount for one to sit upon at John ford Point as when last I was there.

[@foifoifoi610]

That background is CRAZY omg

[@joyouslily2982]

[@ramontoro]

Very interesting video, in 2020 we stay in The View Hotel in Monument Valley and it’s amazing

[@kojordo23]

Thank you for the amazing videos! Going to Monument Valley in 2 months!

[@WereintheRockies]

You're welcome and we hope you enjoy it!

[@isabelpintado9535]

I love all the information. Thank you!!! I’m nervous about it. Going soon there. So happy but nervous

[@WereintheRockies]

Have fun!

[@ninaalbright1645]

Oh my goodness! My husband and I literally JUST booked a cabin at The View because of your video. Thank you so much for all of your helpful information. If it weren't for your channel, my family and I wouldn't have known about this amazing place! We are so excited!!

[@WereintheRockies]

You’re welcome! You’re going to love it!! 😍

[@minthura1994]

We stayed at Cabin #2. My parents took the main bedroom. My wife and I took the bedding off of the bunkbeds and did a lil camping area in the living room lol. Of course we didn't know there was a pull out couch 😂

[@brandonharris2829]

Good morning from Lone Grove Oklahoma my friends

[@myworldtoursbucketlist1742]

You guys are doing great Please do Full Route 66 video if possible Thank you

[@WereintheRockies]

Thanks for the suggestion. Hopefully some day.

[@Bob_Betty]

Brilliant, another fantastic video :) Was this recorded recently? Wer're flying on 29th March to Denver then probably there first week in April.

[@WereintheRockies]

This was recorded September 2022. Have fun on your trip!

[@jurassicporkchop4162]

What a beautiful place to vacation at. I love Monument Valley. Thank you for this wonderful video. You showed it very well. Question: I have a truck camper, did you say there is a place for campers at the View? Thank you so much.

[@WereintheRockies]

Yes, they have space for RV's. Here is the link: monumentvalleyview.com/campground/

[@larrydraper4451]

Thanks for the Monument Valley Trilogy. It's been on my bucket list for years and is on my September schedule for this year. The question is still "book a tour or not". I drive a Tacoma 4x4 so not too worried about the road, can't be worse than Blacktail Plateau Drive in Yellowstone. I was planning on driving it each of 2 days but will look into a tour to get to the "special" places. You did not mention another famous happening near Monument Valley, Forrest Gump stopped running there. I'm also planning a day trip to the Valley of the Gods just north o Mexican Hat. Keep up the videos and history lessons.

[@WereintheRockies]

Larry, thanks for commenting! I wondered a lot about a tour and ultimately did one. See this video, which hasn’t been released yet, for our experience: What we wish we knew before visiting Monument Valley kzbin.info/www/bejne/a5eqmWmOqNh1edU

[@fsusarge]

Larry, the tours will get you to places you can't drive on your own, regardless of vehicle.

[@frederickong6568]

Thank you. I really enjoy your videos. I am going to Monument Valley early April. Should I book a tour ahead? Or can I just book upon arrival? I am just going on a daytrip and driving in from Flagstaff. I am staying in Page for the night. Thanks in advance for your advice!

[@WereintheRockies]

We almost always recommend purchasing tours ahead of time (if you know the tour is something you WANT to do). It would be heartbreaking to finally make it here and not be able to get a tour if you were planning on one. Also, early April is when many Utah schools are on spring break so Monument Valley could be busier than normal.

[@lolzlolz102]

Going there soon can't wait. Can you stay on the scenic road when it closes and you are already on it?

[@WereintheRockies]

I believe you have to be out by closing time. The last entry is usually 2.5 hours before it closes.

[@lolzlolz102]

@@WereintheRockies Thanks. Will keep that in mind!

[@SEVEREDxAPPENDAGE]

monument valley is a Navajo Tribal Park, not a national park.

[@WereintheRockies]

You're correct. We incorrectly called it a Navajo National Park but it is a Navajo Tribal Park. 😃
