MONUMENT VALLEY NAVAJO TRIBAL PARK

Upon Reopening All Navajo Tribal Parks are following all NN Rules and Regulations. This great valley boasts sandstone masterpieces that tower at heights of 400 to 1,000 ft., framed by scenic clouds casting shadows that graciously roam the desert floor. The angle of the sun accents these graceful formations, providing scenery that is simply spellbinding.

The landscape overwhelms, not just by its beauty but also by its size. The fragile pinnacles of rock are surrounded by miles of mesas and buttes, shrubs, trees and windblown sand, all comprising the magnificent colors of the valley. All of this harmoniously combines to make Monument Valley a truly wondrous experience.

DO NOT Desecrate Navajo lands and violate the trust of the Navajo people by discarding cremated human remains on tribal lands. Please respect our tribal beliefs. Cremation is Prohibited on Navajo Land.

NO ROCK CLIMBING on Navajo Land is Prohibited. Please abide by the humble religious requests of the Navajo people and do not climb the Monuments. “Navajo law will be strictly enforced on this issue,” Parks Department Manager. NO DRONES ALLOWED on Navajo Land. Please abide by all Navajo Nation Laws. Drones are Prohibited on Navajo Nation.

All areas on the Navajo Nation are Closed to non-Navajos unless you have a valid pass or permit issued by the Navajo Parks and Recreation Department or other delegated tribal authority. Failure to have a permit is considered Trespassing on a Federal Indian Reservation.
