Your Itinerary

The Mitten Buttes And Merrick Butte

As we set up the horses to assign based on experience, weight, and height. We'll give you and our horse buddies a proper introduction. After you two get acquainted, we'll start galloping towards the West Mitten Butte, where you get to be up close. Take pictures of the East Mitten and Merrick buttes at a distance. When viewed from the south, the buttes appear to be two gigantic mittens with their thumbs facing inwards. If you capture the Merrick Butte at an angle you see that it's between the West & East Mitten Buttes. All three buttes are commonly seen together in many popular films and images. Its elevation is over 6,200 ft making it one of the tallest buttes in Monument Valley.

We did not expect to have THAT much fun - it was amazing. My husband has never really been on a horse before and he LOVED it. We took the 1hr tour and our guide Logan was great; he told us so much about the area and took many photos for us - amazing. 100% recommend!

What a magical experience in Monument Valley, with Sacred Monument Tours. It has been nearly a decade since I rode, and a gentle hour in the saddle with Tin Horn, a kind and experienced horse, was such a pleasure.

Fantastic view of Monument Valley. The guide gentlemen is super nice. We rode on Horse Trigger and Navi. The ride was exciting.

What an AMAZING tour! Our guide (Dion) shared personal stories that made the experience meaningful while also doing an amazing job of helping us feel comfortable handling horses as he led us through an area where the famous movie Stagecoach was filmed. We also felt very connected with the horses (Mack and Kansas) who were both well trained and very friendly. Can’t wait to do it again!

Brilliant hour out! We were complete beginners and quite nervous but horses were calm and seemed to know the route. Guide lovely, took some photos of us all together and told us all about history of the area. The only thing they need to get clearer is how to find the place.

We had an awesome time on this tour! Logan was a great guide, took time to take photos, answer questions and give information about the area and the horses. Both beginner riders but our horses Willie and Gossip were amazing! Cant recommend this tour highly enough 5*

Amazing one hour horse ride! Audel did an awesome job explaining the culture and history of the area! Absolutely stunning views! Audel took time to take pictures, answer questions, and make sure we were comfortable! Highly recommend! We ride Willie and Tall Can! Both were trained well and knew the route well.

Amazing experience and horses well behaved. I had Navy who was oldest and slowest horse which suited me as being new to this. Dion our guide was always making sure we were fine and very knowledgeable about area. Well worth it, loved every minute.

There is not need to review the stunning landscape of the monument valley. The tour was very informative and we were able to take beautiful photos from during the tour on the trail. We were absolute beginners in horseback riding and we even feared a little to mount. Deon was our guide and he also taught us, patiently, how to ride the horse. Our horses "sideburns" and "scowl" were absolutely the bests, very intelligent, calm and powerfull (we are a bit heavy) they probably were able to make the tour without our "guidance". At the end thanks to Deon, sideburns and scowl we were able to have the best experience.
