Monument Valley's The View Hotel Reviewed

When I went to Monument Valley in November 2016, I stayed at the campground at Goulding's Lodge in my motorhome.

While there, I took a tour through the tribal park and the tour took us past The View, the Navajo owned and operated hotel.

Wanderlust Travel Magazine (U.K.) has posted a review of The View. If one doesn't have an RV to stay in, The View may just be perfect for a memorable visit to Monument Valley. From what I saw of it, it looked like a nice place to stay.

They begin it with:

The red rock pinnacles and mesas of Monument Valley are sacred to the Navajo. They believe them to be the petrified remains of fallen monsters, defeated by the holy people, and now buried in the sand. Millions come each year to share in that mythology and see this sacred land. Few get to stay on site.

Navajo owned and operated, The View is the only hotel inside Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park. And it is well-named: its rooms have balconies facing the Mittens, two huge red buttes rising like giant’s fists. At a lookout beside the hotel, tourists jostle for a glimpse. At The View, you have your own private box.
