We will travel to Monument Valley in a few days and plan to arrive before sunset and stay at The View. We will travel to Grand Canyon the next day, so will probably have time for a half day tour before we leave. Could someone advise me as to whether we should consider a jeep tour, horse tour or hiking tour? We like to hike but maybe we would see more if we did one of the others. We will be doing a jeep tour prior to that in Canyon de Chelly, in case that affects anyone's advice.

If you are in an open vehicle when the wind is blowing, you will get a lot of sand in your eyes.

On our last visit, we drove around the valley in our own vehicle, and we enjoyed ourselves, but I notice that the expensive Navajo tours get high ratings on TripAdvisor.

Another option: Drive you own car and get out of it for short hikes as you meander.

You are very very limited on where you can drive in your own vehicle in Monument Valley.

My recollecti0n is that there is little shade in Monument Valley; I would not hike there.
