Hunts Mesa
A high plateau at the southern end of the valley with a view over the entire Monument Valley, popular for sunrise and camping tours and open only with a Navajo guide.
Hunts Mesa lies at the southern end of the valley and is one of the few places in Monument Valley where you can look down on the buttes from above. At sunrise, the rock formations are wrapped in morning light and mist, and many classic aerial-style photographs were taken here. You must join a Navajo guide's off-road vehicle or hiking camping tour, either half-day or overnight. The roads are rough, the fees are high, and advance booking is required.
