Our tour guide slash van driver, J.R., picked me up at the Grand Canyon International Hostel in Flagstaff at 7:15 in the morning. On the dot. He’s not your regular tour guide or driver. He’s a walking encyclopedia on the history and current events of the Navajo Nation. He’s well-versed on the sights that only, perhaps, can be answered by a geologist. He’s even married to a woman who grew up in the reservation area and had gone to school with Navajo Indians in his younger years. And not just that. His family had been in the movie-making business for years that he had his share of personal and working relationships with Jodi Foster, Mel Gibson, Tom Selleck, Will Smith, etc…
If you have a tour guide with that qualification and interesting life, the long journey to the Monument Valley from Sedona or Flagstaff would be one heck of a road trip, not a tour in itself.
So, how was our road trip to the Monument Valley? I’d give it a 10/10!
