18 Navajo

LUKA
Navajo people have a reservation in Monument Valley. 13 families live here. They dont have electricity or running water. They choose not to. This is their sacred land, with long history. The reservation is open for public for 5 dollars a day. You can drive inside on designated roads. We took a 1 hour horseback ride and slept on their land for 20 dollars. You can also sleep on the entrance in the Overview hotel for 200 per room. The view is just breathtaking and you have to know that in the morning the sun shines from the east and in the evening from the west. As in every destination you travel to visit, so make a time plan if you want to take special pictures. The rock monuments are of red sand rock and the horses are wild or tamed Mustangs.

We arrived to Grand Canyon's southern rim in the afternoon and just took some pictures. There are lots of things to do from mule riding, hiking, helicopter flights and boat or raft rides. They can last to 14 days and cost a lot. We had such a good time in Monument Valley, that when we reached the Grand Canyon, it was good enough just to see the view from few spots and drive on.
