Additional Information
Long before this captivating desert landscape came to be known as Monument Valley, its indigenous inhabitants referred to it as Tse’Bii’Nidzisgai. In the Navajo language, Diné Bizaad, this name translates to “the white streaks within the rock,” offering a poetic glimpse into the natural wonders that await you.
Today, if you were to ask local residents for their interpretation of this word, you might uncover several nuanced variations. To many, Tse’Bii’Nidzisgai evokes a profound perception of light. Twice a day, in the morning and in the evening, the sun casts an enchanting spell upon these sandstone monuments painting the landscape in a breathtaking palette of red and orange hues.
Embark on an unforgettable guided tour with us and delve into the heart of this extraordinary landscape. Our expert guides will lead you through the secrets of Tse’Bii’Nidzisgai, revealing its hidden stories and the cultural significance intertwined with Diné Biyakah (Navajo Land).

Joseph and Mystery valley - March 10 I with my brother from Lithuania came to beautiful Utah and first tour we had was tour to Mystery valley. Oh my God ! We both were so impressed. By my opinion - to came to Monument valley and don't visit Mystery valley is big mistake which travelers are making. I'm so happy for almost randomly founding that jeep tour. Thanks our wonderful guide Joseph, we saw a lot. Amazing views, beautiful rocks, impressive petroglyphs...Joseph even song for us Navajo song, told about his nation's customs, life style, answered to all our questions. And how's good he drove his jeep by those mud roads ! :) Now we did read about corona virus spread in Navajo reservation and we hope Joseph is healthy and doing well. I with my brother are wishing the best for Him and all Navajo nation and we will never forget that wonderful afternoon . THANKS !

Amazing Time in Mystery Valley!! - My husband and I recently visited Monument Valley where we joined Bobby, of MVT, for a tour of Mystery Valley. We both agree that it was the highlight of our trip!!! The lesser known valley offers dreamy vistas of Monument Valley but also contains a number of sites of its own. We saw pictograms, stone dwellings, as well as other reminants of ancestors past. Bobby was kind enough to provide insight into these sights and his culture as we went along. This is a must-do!!!

Great informative tour - Our tour guide Bobby Atene did a spectular job of helping us understand native American history in general and Navajo culture specifically. We saw a lot of ancient dwellings and petroglyphs. We learned a lot.

Highlight of our Trip - Have you ever been tempted to leave a bad review because something was so special you didn't want to share it to others? 🙂 Well, that's Mystery Canyon for us! But the guided tour is a great way of experiencing and protecting this wonderful place, so we highly recommend it. Our guide, Comasheena Benally, shared stories of the people who lived in the valley -- past and present -- really making it come alive and giving us insight into the culture. We visited amazing ancient sites, enjoyed the beautiful landscape and were very glad she was driving on those roads-not roads....Thank you for treating us to lasting and wonderful memories!

What a wonderful experience! - Ray took us through Mystery Valley, giving us a truly memorable experience. We saw ancient Pueblo ruins we would never have believed. The setting is not at all touristy or exploited, so we felt like we were experiencing in a much more up close and personal way. We learned so much from Ray, about the geology, the ancient people, and the current Navajo people. We highly recommend this tour!

Amazing, private tour in quiet morning - Nothing but the desert, the wind, birdsong and the silences of the many ancient Anasazi dwelling locations and ruins we were privileged to visit and photograph. Just we tow and our Navajo guide, who shared her grandmother's tales of remembrances of the Anasazi people and how they interacted (or rather refused to) with the Navajo. PHOTOGRAPHERS: go in the late afternoon for phenom light! The AM was all shadows, but we went for the quiet. Afternoons the tour gets quite crowded and busy.

Mystery Valley Tour - Our guide was Roderick for this tour. He was superb, sharing many stories of his family and traditions. At Full Moon Arch he treated us to songs while he played the drum! He sang a northern style and southern style traditional song as well as a Navajo happy birthday song. We enjoyed hearing about the Navajo culture and traditions! If you are lucky and get Roderick you’ll have a wonderful time!

Mystery Valley Tour was fabulous! - Our tour giude was Roderick and he was so FABULOUS! He took us through the canyon and taught us about the Navajo culture and beliefs. He was a wealth of information and did his best to answer all of our questions even sharing personal stories with us. The VERY BEST part of the tour was his Navajo traditional songs at the Full Moon Arch site. I would do this tour every year with him as a guide! Can't say enough of how phenomenal the tour was and how great our guide was......loved it!!! The best part of our vacation! We are already making plans to come back next year.

Mystery Valley tour was a good choice - My husband and I really enjoyed this tour - seeing sites that we wouldn't otherwise have known about it. Even saw some wild horses! And our tour guide played her drum and sang for us. We loved it.
