MONUMENT VALLEY - ARIZONA
Maarten van Hoek Updated August 2005| RESPONSIBLE VISTOR BEHAVIOUR AT ROCK ART SITES
* Never touch or wet rock art - it is highly damaging * Never chalk or enhance engravings * Do not walk on engraved rock * Leave all archaeological artefacts as they are * Only take photographs, only leave your footsteps Hidden in a corner of Monument Valley are four rock art sites close together comprising petroglyphs and pictographs of Anasazi origin. The majority of the images depict anthropomorphs and zoomorphs, as well as handprints and abstract designs. Monument Valley is not a National Park. It is operated by the Navaho Tribal Council. There is a road through the valley that is open to the public but the hours are limited and do not include sunrise and sunset access. Moreover, all the rock art sites shown on this web page are in an area with restricted access and are hard to find. Only licensed guides are permitted to drive off-road to these rock art sites in Monument Valley. I recommend to contact Vaughn Hadenfeldt of Far Out ExpeditionS to be informed about a guided tour to Monument Valley and other rock art sites in southern Utah and northern Arizona (use the link below to visit his web site). We are grateful to Vaughn for guiding us to these rock art sites. |

We'll travel off the tourist loop where only guides can take you--to awesome scenes of nature's handiwork and rock art remains of the valley's ancient inhabitants.
