Monument Valley Hiking & Jeep Tours with Simpson's Trailhandler

Monument Valley Simpson's Trailhandler Tours, LLC offers an immersive way to experience the raw landscape of Oljato-Monument Valley, Utah, a region etched with some of the most iconic red sandstone formations in the American Southwest. This company specializes in off-the-beaten-path hiking and private jeep tours that carve through the rugged desert terrain, providing access to areas often overlooked by the typical visitor. Situated in one of the most photographed locations globally, Monument Valley's dramatic buttes, spires, and mesas are composed of deep red sandstone that glows brilliant orange at sunset, creating unforgettable vistas.

Their Off the Beaten Track Trail hiking tours challenge adventurers to tread beyond standard viewpoints, winding through narrow canyons and along desert ridges with panoramic views. The Private Sunset Tour highlights the interplay of shadow and light across geological formations, revealing the valley’s subtle details in warm hues. The 2.5 Hour Jeep Tours offer a rugged ride to spots like Hunts Mesa, a sweeping vantage point looking out over vast desert landscapes and distant plateaus.

What makes Simpson's Trailhandler unique is the combination of intimate group sizes and knowledge steeped in the Navajo Nation culture and landscape. Local guides share stories of traditional land use, natural history, and Navajo heritage often missing in larger, commercial tours. The private nature of their tours allows guests to soak in the stillness and solitude, giving a deep connection to the desert’s expansive silence and striking formations.

Monument Valley is part of the Colorado Plateau, where towering sandstone formations rise from a flat desert floor, sculpted by millions of years of erosion and weathering. Visitors may notice distinctive flora like sagebrush and yucca, and the occasional sighting of desert bighorn sheep along isolated ridges. Whether during a sunset Jeep jaunt or a brisk hike under a wide-open sky, Simpson's Trailhandler Tours crafts adventure that’s both authentic and accessible, making them a standout choice for outdoor seekers in Utah’s red rock country.
