Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park
Tear Drop Arch is located outside the Tribal Park, there is a bit of hiking to get to the arch and around to the ruins but well worth the hike. This tour is an extra tour we offer if you want to explore Monument Valley a little more. We don’t get much bookings on this tour but it is well worth the trip. It’s more of a private local area place where locals go for a quick get away and you well be able to see Monument Valley from a higher point. You well be able to see the buttes spread out below. Very beautiful view looking out towards the East. The look out point alone has a beautiful view, the ruins and the tear drop arch are also very unique and beautiful. If you have the time to do this tour, check it out.
Horse Canyon is located outside of the Navajo Tribal Park. You well go through the canyon to get to Tear Drop Arch. Its a very beautiful scenic drive but is very sandy. This place is only accessible with a local guide and a 4wheel vehicle.
