- Come join us with Toney Begay from Monument Valley Safari as we go on a once-in-a-lifetime camping trip on Hunt’s Mesa that looks down on Monument Valley. Toney is a Navaho guide with over 40 years of experience. This was his playground ground growing up. We traveled on old coal mine roads and roads the Navaho used to bring the animals to pasture. What am I saying? I wouldn’t call most of what we traveled on “roads!” Most of where we went was rough terrain, jagged cliffs, and rock faces. I couldn’t even pick out the road when it was right in front of me. He took us to a stunning overlook and dropped us off to enjoy the sunset while he set up camp and started dinner. He picked us up after dark and took us to our campsite. He gave us a wonderful dinner of steak cooked on the grill and chicken, corn, potatoes, and chilis cooked under the coals of the fire. We went to sleep in the tent he set up. At 4 am, he woke us to the Milky Way spreading its arms across the sky and we took some quick photos, then back to sleep. We got some quick shut eye before Tony woke us again for an incredible sunrise at Tom Tillis’ favorite place for sunrise over Monument Valley…Breakfast, and then a trip down the Mesa. Can’t wait for you to see this video.
Absolutely stunning!!
It was such an incredible experience
Woooow ....What a trip/hike to Hunts Mesa overlooking Monument Valley. Thanks for sharing great video ! Admire the ability & enthusiasm to drive thru that narrow dirt and rocky road in a passanger vehicle..... Absolutely fantastic views. Beautiful sunset & sunrise. Best images .... Cheers !!!!
L O L! Feel free to comment on any of our videos. That was fun to read.
Grazie del video mi è stato utilissimo!
Sei caldamente benvenuto. Sono felice che ti sia piaciuto.
This is so cool! I am doing this tour next week! Can't wait.
Very very jealous
Great Video --I'm just starting out with my new DJI OSMO Action Cam.
Cool! Would love to see the footage
Wow, just watching your truck do this drive made me nervous. I've never been to this area but we love MV. I think I'd hike this instead of drive it though. lol I just about died when you had to drive back in the dark! Wonderful video though, thank you for sharing it.
So happy you liked it. Thank you for your kind words. This was an amazing trip. I wasn’t sure that the video showed how good it was.
Thanks for posting this. I am planning at trip out there in the middle of April this year and looking at an overnight trip up there for 3 adults looking to photograph the Milky Way. I hate to book this far out. How far out did you book this? We have 6 days in the area so hopefully we can work something out when we get there. Great photos thanks again
Oh, I am so excited for you. We probably booked this two months in advance. However, we were the only two on the trip so I think you could book it later. This overnight was amazing. Don’t miss it.
The sky! Just wow. Did you guys have a drone following you? Great shots.
We had an Insta 360 on a very long selfie stick
