It costs $8 per person. Only credit cards accepted no cash. To access the Monument Valley Tribal Park you must pay the fee even guests at the View Hotel must pay this fee. Hotel guests just need to keep your receipt and you get a park pass receipt and show that to re-enter the park during your stay. Only need to pay once. At the park there is the scenic drive, wildcat trail, valley viewpoint, restaurant and gift shop. They do follow daylight savings time even though Arizona does not. So when DST begins they are one hour ahead. Check website for hours for scenic drive since it closes 2 1/2 hours before the sun goes down since it takes 2 hours to do.

The road is rough in parts but not surrounded by trash or old cars or whatever one misleading reviewer said. All in all a wonderful...
Read moreNever met an attendant so rude. Pulled up to the booth to ask a question as we had a sunrise tour early the next day from the View Hotel, so I was simply asking if the gate would be open for me to show my pass. She huffed as she had to put down her phone she was texting on and responded for me to use my "common sense" and to show the pass when after the tour. No basic manners and went back to her very important texting. Shame I didn't get this lady's name, but she shouldn't be in a customer facing role if your going to be this rude in an area that...
