The play of light filtering down from above and the warm hues of the rock make for breathtaking photos, even with a smartphone. The tours are run exclusively by members of the local tribe; the guides are fantastic at explaining the area’s geology, sharing legends, and showing you exactly where to stand to get the perfect shot. A top-notch experience.

This is a smaller tour, and as such, there is a much more personal "feel" to the experience. Our guide, Alex, an exceptional young woman, provided a thorough and educational description and explanation of the land and how the local Native Americans view, respect, and live in the area. She provided an extensive history of the region, explaining local superstitions and traditions. The walk through the canyon was fantastic, while the lighting for photography was almost perfect. NOTE: While my two grown sons, wife, and I had no problem navigating the narrows, this is not for everyone. There are ladders to be climbed, and in places it does become very narrow.

Loved the stories from our guide that give ys a glimpse into the Navajo way of life. Needless to say, the canyons are breathtakingly beautiful! We were placed in a group of 6 people - the group was small enough to feel like a private tour.
