Itinéraire
Conduisez ou marchez votre chemin vers The View Hotel Premium Cabins et à la fin de la route est un chemin menant à notre écurie de chevaux. À votre arrivée à l’Écurie à cheval Sacred Monument Tours, vous rencontrerez votre guide Navajo, signerez une dérogation et recevrez un briefing sur la sécurité.
Nous commencerons notre voyage par une balade panoramique jusqu’à The Mittens, également connu sous le nom de West and East Mitten Buttes. Profitez d'une vue imprenable et découvrez l'importance géologique de ces monuments emblématiques. Vues du sud, les crosses semblent être deux gigantesques moufles dont les pouces sont tournés vers l'intérieur.
Cette butte doit son nom à un prospecteur bien connu du XIXe siècle, Richard Merrick, qui fut l'un des premiers à explorer la région. La butte, qui se dresse à 5 000 pieds d'altitude, est souvent vue dans des films occidentaux emblématiques, ce qui en fait une étape populaire des excursions à cheval. En parcourant la vallée, vous aurez l'impression de vous lancer dans une scène de film western classique, avec Merrick Butte debout fièrement en arrière-plan. Sa silhouette saisissante ajoute à la beauté accidentée du paysage!
Elle est souvent surnommée la « tour de guet » de la vallée en raison de sa présence imposante et de son emplacement stratégique. S'élevant à 6 200 pieds, il a été un repère naturel pendant des siècles, guidant à la fois le peuple Navajo et les premiers explorateurs. Lors des randonnées à cheval, les cavaliers peuvent profiter d’une vue panoramique sur le désert environnant, et la forme distincte de la mesa évoque souvent l’image d’une sentinelle solitaire qui veille sur la terre. C’est une étape populaire pour la photographie, offrant une vue imprenable sur les formations emblématiques de la roche rouge.
Votre visite se termine à l’Écurie des chevaux Sacred Monument Tours où vous êtes libre de poser vos questions à votre guide et de prendre des photos de dernière minute avec tout le monde, y compris nos chevaux !

HIGHLY DISCOURAGED 2-HOUR HORSEBACK TOUR!! Fall from a horse due to the total irresponsibility of the guides. I advise anyone against relying on Sacred Monument Tours. Unfortunately, I know well that a horseback excursion in Monument Valley is a beautiful experience that everyone would like to do once in their life (and it is precisely the reason why we relied on them, being one of the very few authorized and well-known tours to access the area), but I beg you not to do it so as not to ruin your vacations or, worse, put your life at risk. What was supposed to be an unforgettable adventure turned into a nightmare when my friend was thrown to the ground by a horse, risking paralysis or worse, due to the total incompetence and inattention of the staff. I have participated in other beginner excursions and I know what it means to work safely: here, the attention to the customer is zero. The accident was caused by the guide: Almost at the end of the ride, the guide made a sound/sign to the horse (a kiss); the animal suddenly bolted and my friend flew to the ground violently. After such a serious incident, there was no adequate assistance. They only hid behind the waiver signed at the beginning. We know that all tours make you sign a liability waiver, but bureaucracy is one thing, and total indifference and lack of aid in the face of a danger created directly by them is another. I also add that throughout the duration of the tour, the guide was completely inattentive and absent: he spent the time with headphones in his ears, walking very far from us. I even fell behind alone for a long stretch because my horse was tired and had detached from the group, without anyone noticing. Always with signs made to the horses, he gave them instructions to trot even though we were beginners. Furthermore, at the beginning they ask if you prefer a helmet or a cowboy hat, an absolutely unprofessional and dangerous choice for those who are not experts. They are totally improvised, have no care for customers, and put people's safety at high risk. Do not make our same mistake: it is not worth it!
Beautiful tour, the guide Marco was excellent! A unique experience. Thanks also to the fantastic horses Tank & Tonto. ❤️
It was a magnificent and exhilarating experience! For my family, it was the first time on horseback, but these animals were so docile and well-trained that they knew on their own what they had to do! Our guide Marco was helpful and knowledgeable! Even the heat, which I feared would be stifling, was not a big problem! I hope sooner or later to repeat this experience!!
Excellent way to discover the park. 2 hours are necessary to give yourself time and multiply the viewpoints.
We had an incredibly great trip out in Monument Valley with two guides. They gave us good guidance during the trip, and were incredibly pleasant to talk to.
Very happy with The ridning tour! Unbelievable amazing View! So happy with it and money Well spent! Amazing tour guide aswell, Dylan.
What can I say... We were fortunate to be just the two of us, my husband and I, and we witnessed a magnificent sunrise. The guide, very attentive, understood my sensitivity as a painter and was never-ending in sharing stories about the rock engravings of our ancestors, as well as about the local fauna and flora. A big thank you to Mr. T for this excursion in the desert of Monument Valley, which was as beautiful as it was spiritual.
Hands down one of the coolest experiences we've ever done. Our guide Dylan was fantastic leading us on trails that put us right in the midst of the beauty of Monument Valley. 10 out of 10 experience!
Wonderful tour and even better on horseback! The views of the monuments from up close were amazing! Highly recommend this tour!
What a wonderful memorable experience we had riding horses in Monument Valley. Nice small group of only four. We got to see the monuments up close and had views not many people can experience. If you are going to Monument Valley, we highly recommend this fantastic tour.
