   Read moreI recently engaged these people to provide an opportunity to photograph at night shoot and during the sunset in Monument Valley. WOW!!!!! what a great group of people and excellent guides.
Shay , accommodated a last minute change in our schedule (because of a mistake I made) and took me out on the night shooting in Monument Valley. An excellent guide , maneuvering around the valley , in the dark on what were barely roads. But always ending up in an ideal position of the Milky Way and various notable mounts in the valley. Excellent job Shay...remember to send me your Dropbox folder or an email so I can send you photos when I get them processed.
Steven , his cousin, did my Sunset tour the next night ...and like wise did an excellent job....getting to the spots before the shadows fell or the lighting got poor...making it back to see the shadow of the left mitten fall on the center of the right mitten...a rare event that happens twice a year. I was also impressed with his knowledge of the Navajo heritage and stories that he told along our several hour journey.
Reminded me of the guide I had four years ago , Don Mose, who was very knowledgeable in the ancestry of the Navajo and the Monument Valley. Take heart Don....Steven is doing an excellent job of carrying the Navajo heritage forward.
I highly recommend this tour company...Excellent in many regards...understanding and compassion for the Navajo heritage...interested in making the customer feel like more than a rider in the car, but actually pulls you into the spirit of the valley.
Again Shay....thanks for being so flexible in instantly rearranging the schedule and putting yourself out to make the night shoot in the valley happen. It was the one thing I was looking anxiously forward to during my whole 18 day trip out west. Your ability to flex the schedule and fix my mess up...really meant a lot to me that night....
Thank...
   Read moreWe just took the Monument Valley tour with Don, and I can confidently say it exceeded my expectations. This was my second time touring the Valley, and while I expected to see new areas and learn more about Navajo culture, this experience was far more than just sightseeing.
Don has an incredible depth of knowledge about both the monuments and their cultural significance to the Navajo and other Indigenous tribes both past and present. His insights went beyond just the Western films shot in the Valley, making the tour far richer and more meaningful than I had anticipated.
I will absolutely be returning to Monument Valley, and when I do, another tour with Don will be a must.
For Those Interested in the Cultural Aspect
If you are still reading, Iâll share more details for those particularly interested in the cultural depth of this tour.
Before our trip, I had read parts of the Navajo creation story and was eager to hear more specific insights from Don. Reading is one thing, but having an interactive conversation with an expert is a whole new level of learning. I had asked the tour provider if it would be possible to incorporate more cultural and historical information, and Don truly delivered.
As a former educator in Navajo language and culture, Don built up the information gradually, layer by layer, throughout the tour. I walked away having learned far more than I had even hoped for.
My wife, who had not done any reading beforehand, commented that she wished we had recorded the entire tour. In fact, she said it was the highlight of our entire 10-day trip out West. If you want to get even more out of the experience, I highly recommend reading just a little bit beforehand will gain even deeper insights from the tour.
As I mentioned earlier, I will definitely be returning for another...
