Very informative video and beautiful shots. The comments about the people who rudely cut across your shots made me smile 😊 I shall have to add this to my must visit list
Some good info about the Valley, I have visited the valley on 4 occasions while criss crossing the SW States on road trip vacations. Friends have asked me for itinerary's for road trips in the SW area, I now show them this as an insight and heads up about the valley experience, thank you.
I cannot thank you enough for sharing this great video and information. I have always wanted to go to Arches and was aware of Bryce, but I had no idea just how much there was to see in Utah and it is all so beautiful. And all the photography tips are wonderful.Thank you so much!!!
“ Once upon a time in the west “ is more famous in Europe. A movie by 2 Italian gods Sergio Leone and music by Ennio Morricone. If you haven’t watched it go watch it. 👍
I've been there four times, camping and shooting. The first two times (2010, 2011) I paid $5.00 admission and $5.00 for primitive camping. The third time, the campground was closed as it was being "remodeled" and cabins were being built (2012). We had to hustle up a motel room in Kayenta (not cheap, by the way). The fourth time (2014) was after the campground was reopened. $20 admission and $20 for camping. No improvements to the campground, just a reduction to about 1/5 its former size so the other space could be used for new cabins. (I see from their web site they now have restrooms and showers, but not for my $20 when I was there.) In spite of the increased fees, it really is a wonderful photographic experience.
Thank you Sir for such a magnificent video. Have they shown that Totem pole in McKenna's Gold ? I want to see it in person after lockdown. In my life it's a dream and destination the only place to tour in the US.Thanks again.Indian from India.
Nice video. With all due respect, at 2:57 you mentioned that General Custer's men moved the Navajo to Ft. Sumner in 1864. In 1864, General George Armstrong Custer was fully engaged in the Civil War, back east, in Virginia and Shenandoah Valley. He never served in the the southwest, even after the war. Just to set the record straight.
You video is just too good, the photo tips section is valuable for photographer. At the end of the movie you mentioned about the policy that Navajo private guide set on the private tour, and your friend may be not come back to MV until it's changed. Do you have any update on this? If we visited MV in the Christmas (Winter) time, can we get the great shots like you? And is it possible to hike close to the tottem in this season, and do you have any idea about the price for private tour? Thanks so much.
Trong Nguyen thanks for watching. You have to have a private Native American guide to get to the totem area. Not sure if you can walk up to it, we stayed near the jeep. During the winter the prices for private tours may be less outrageous. Call Goulding's and ask them. The winter is probably a good time to go as there will be few people there. As afar as taking great photos goes, the weather is unpredictable. I've been there many times to shoot the video and stills in this segment. Steve s
I hope you tourists who come to our land or reservation, will respect the rock formations there. Remember to respect the private property of my Navajo people and the religious beliefs we have of the rocks. To many of you it may be irrational but to us, nature has meaning. Please do not climb the rocks and keep away from the Navajo people who have homes there in the valley. I know alot of Navajo people don't like tourists coming near their houses and land due to littering and exploitation. All we ask is for respect. When we go off the reservation, we abide by the rules being off the reservation, so we ask for the same. I know many of you tourists complain about the undeveloped roads but its that way for a good reason. If you don't like anything we do, than don't come. I know you'll youtube and instagram your visit but have respect for the Ancient Pueblo people who once dwelled there by not exploiting us and our ways. Use common sense etiquette when visiting reservation lands. We are sovereign, a self-governed nation with rules, and laws that must be followed. Thank you.
Been there 2 times in the last 5 years and never spent a penny for camping . You just have to know the way of the land or the Indians will scalp you . Will be going back it's a beautiful place , one of my favorites .
Come to think of it, I did see people camping for free in the Valley of the Gods. I'll mention that in the Valley of the Gods video- whenever I get to it. Good idea thanks! BTW- I just posted an update to this video. The Campground in Monument Valley has been replaced by $225 a night cabins.
I remember looking at the grand canyon, perhaps2 1 to 2feet from rail . some ahole just walks in front of me.and couldn't understand why I was upset. sorta ruined that moment

Thanks. fyi- Monument Valley and the other Tribal Parks are closed.

Nice. On my bucket list.
Fico só imaginando a sensação de está em um lugar como esse. Cenário de vários filmes de faroeste. Ótimo vídeo.

People can be so clueless and rude. Amazing. 7:30

I will respect you and your natives no matter what i wont do anything to your amazimg people
I'm glad the roads are undeveloped. Paved roads would ruin the sense of pristine.
That's right. Have respect for us Navajo. People
so can you get out and walk the areas ?
as stated, you can drive your own car on the loop trail.
Great video

great videp
do you have to have a guide or if you rent a 4x4 can you do it yourself
General Custer was not the one that took the Navajo to Ft. Sumner. It was Kit Carson.
Yes I know, The Mon Valley was wrong. The 2019 update version of the video has this correction.
Thanks!!
I wonder if all those monument will be in about 200 years from now.
Those are some very expensive guide prices!
Well done
Nice video. Pity you can't remove the advertising banner at the bottom of the screen.
Pity it takes money to make a video like this
and then.... Valley of the Gods, too!
Gotta love those inconsiderate photo bombers and greedy tribes.

Damn partying Germans
