Monumental - An experience without equal. The places are breathtaking, more beautiful than any expectation. The guide, Jameson, is a true Navajo and is also very helpful and nice. He plays and sings the typical Navajo songs, from very detailed explanations and is also a good photographer. One of the most spectacular hikes I've ever done.

The great mastery of Nature and the deep respect of the Navajo for Mother Earth. - Really unique and exciting experience. The landscape is impressive and was well explained by our guide, Larry, who was very detailed in the explanations providing insights for critical reflection regarding cultural differences. He explained very well some Navajo traditions but also the formation of the Valley. I was moved to hear him play the flute in the Sun's Eye Arch. In that moment I felt a deep emotional connection with the place and with Nature that surrounded me. Absolutely not to be missed!
