The canyon at night is next-level. Went with two old college buddies – we’re all amateur photographers and this is a dream spot. The guides know the best settings for your phone or camera. Pro tip: don’t bother with flash, it ruins the mood (and isn’t allowed anyway). The wind made it a bit hard to get sharp pics but it’s worth the effort.

I honestly can’t say enough about this tour. Went with my boyfriend and we barely talked the whole time because we were just staring up. Our guide Louise told us about the Navajo stories for each constellation – I loved that. It felt really respectful and not touristy. Pro tip: turn your phone off and just be present.

I went solo, a bit nervous, but everyone was so friendly. The guides are actual Navajo folks who grew up nearby – they had stories for days. The tour was pretty chill, not too much walking, and you get time to just sit and look up. Didn’t bring a tripod, but still got decent shots (thanks to the guide’s tips). Wear something warm! Desert nights are COLD even in summer.

Fun adventure. The bumpy ride and stairs were part of the experience. Our guide was super knowledgeable. Wish we could’ve stayed longer.

Van ride was a bit wild, but we laughed the whole way. Our guide Ron knows everything about stars. Wish the group was a tad smaller but still worth it.

We celebrated my birthday here. I’m not a huge fan of guided tours usually, but this felt special. The guides clearly care about their land and want to share it with you. Don’t skip the stories – they’re the best part.

Night tour with my wife and 2 kids (age 9 and 12). They LOVED the stories about the constellations. The guide made it super fun for the kids, even let them use his laser pointer. It was peaceful and felt safe the whole time. Stairs are steep but manageable. Make sure your phone’s charged for pics – mine almost died halfway!

It’s a bit of a trek to get there, but worth it. The guides are amazing – they know so much about the stars. Lots of time for photos, too.
