• Wildcat Trail - The first detour is at Wildcat Trail, where visitors can step out and walk into the valley itself.
• West and East Mitten Buttes - The tour continues past the three striking formations of the iconic “Monument Valley” panorama: the East and West Mittens and Merrick Butte. Why are they called mittens? Why Merrick? Discover the stories and histories of these structures as the tour progresses.
• John Ford’s Point - As the trail leads deeper into Monument Valley, learn more about the Navajo, the legendary buried silver, and their efforts to protect their land from encroaching colonists.

• Camel Butte - Finally, the tour reaches the last incredible vista: Camel Butte and Elephant Butte. Camel Butte may not resemble a camel, but creativity is key when naming rocks! Camel Butte nearly reaches 1,000 feet, but is overshadowed by its sibling, Elephant Butte, which rises over 1,000 feet high. While impressive on its own, remember that the plateau is already elevated around 5,000 feet, making the peak of Elephant Butte more than 6,000 feet above sea level!
