I drive a 4 Runner and was told by many people that the roads were not that bad. Yes, yes they were. I have a French bulldog and a Boston terrier so I was unable to find a tour operator that had an… Full review by Beasonsmom
My husband's dream is to see Monument Valley (John Wayne world). We will be coming from Durango, CO on October 6 and would like some information about the tours and where to stay. Are there trails for UTVs? Mish

I drove my Ford Edge through the route, going about 10 mph. Quite bumping, some roadways were narrow allowing 1 car through at a time. They do offer "off road" tours that are in a open jeep, I wouldn't recommend as it was VERY dusty in July. At one point, the dust was so bad I couldn't see the car 15 feet in front of me!!! Not sure about places to stay although there is a lodge there but probably expensive. We stayed in Page as we were sightseeing several other places ~ North Rim, Four Corners, Horseshoe Bend, etc.
If you are not one of the first 25 vehicles to enter the Monument for the self guided, 17 mile loop drive, where do you wait until you get a chance to enter? Would one be able to get to do the loop drive within the day?

at the entrance is a visitor center and shop. we went last fall, driving from Moab, so it was probably late morning, early afternoon. no sign of limited entrance so maybe it's the time of year or time of day. I would assume you wait in the parking lot? keep in mind, we were constantly checking the time and were and hour off because of Arizona no day lite saving time. the entire trip thru the parks was one big "what time is it"? kind of trip.
If you are not one of the first 25 vehicles to enter the Monument during the morning, approximately how long would you have to wait for a time to enter the self tour? Would you be able to get to do the loop within the day?

Is this just a drive through tour? I lived in Chinle, AZ in the 70s teaching and wanted my husband to experience the beauty of this country. I will look more for the attractions and how to become involved in them this weekend. We will be traveling from Durango on Sunday, Oct. 6, I guess go through Cortez and down. We will need to spend the night and I am looking for recommendations for lodging in the area.
Are there (paid) shower facilities in or around Monument Valley? No plans to stay overnight and just a day visit and would like to use a shower facility at the end of the day before leaving the town.

we did Monument Valley as a drive thru one day on our way from Moab UT to Page AZ. We did however stop at Goulding's Lodge, where there is a gift shop, restaurant and a motel. Not sure what town you are referring to. Monument Valley seemed very isolated to me, there is a visitor center and rest rooms thru out but I can't say to facilities. Most likely you would need to find something in one of the town's along the way, Mexican Hat. Plus I did notice camp grounds too.
