Monument Valley, Utah
 Welcome
to Totem Pole Tours, the tour that will make your trip unforgettable.
Totem Pole Tours is a Navajo-owned company and is operated by the descendants
of Hush Ké nei nee, the great chief of Monument Valley during the
1880s. Our tour guides will give you first hand experiences of their culture
and customs of their everyday lives. We will take you to places where
few people have ventured and let you enjoy nature's marvelous sandstone
creations. It will be a spiritual experience for some, and for others
it will simply be indescribable.
See the places where there once were ancient families
living among the gigantic red buttes. To see their dwelling places, to
picture in your mind the hardships they endured, will make it a memory
forever.
We will show you the formations, which many medicine
men still hold sacred to this day. Many of the plants that grow here are
used year round, whether it is for food, herbs, dyes, or many other useful
things. These plants are a part of the Navajo's culture and lifestyle.
We hope you consider taking a tour with us and let us show you the world
as we see it.
There are signs of ancient habitation in the valleys
and box canyons all around this area. Here you'll see the petroglyphs,
pictographs, and Anasazi dwellings of the "Ancient Ones". Take a trip
back in time among these ancient surroundings.
Tours are conducted by experienced guides who will tell
you about their culture in various aspects to provide you with information
about the history of Monument Valley.
We are Dineh, which means "The People", and we have
survived years and years of changes. We have endured and we shall endure
again for years to come, but for now, we would like to share with you
our culture which not too many people know about. Let's ride the sacred
lands of the Dineh and "May we all ride in Beauty".
Hiking Tours
The Navajos are a proud and happy people. We have survived
the onslaught of a different society. The stories are told in hogans of
the many obstacles that were overcome by many a Navajo family. Stories and
myths that were acquired through generations before, are being revived through
books that are written about the Navajos, but there are still countless
stories that have been lost because we had no written language.
Monument Valley is a unique place. There is no other
place like this on earth. It is like a Holy Land for many, and a place
of worship for many Medicine Men who still hold their daily ceremonial
rituals here.
Mother Earth is truly a land of wonder. We hope you
enjoy the beauty that surrounds us and "Walk in Beauty with the Navajos".
Commercial Tours
There are numerous motion pictures and television commercials
being filmed here throughout the year. Many western films were made here
by John Ford starring John Wayne.
