East and West Mitten Buttes - Monument Valley Utah Photos and Travelogue

We then continued down the 17-mile loop road, which they say is best driven in a 4WD, but I felt a regular car with good tires would probably have made it, except for the slight possibility of a flat tire. For those not willing to take the risk, the folks at the reservation offer rides for about $30-$40 for the 3-4 hours that the 17-mile loop could take to navigate. There were also some points in the park that are allowed to be accessed only on guided tours, but we decided to skip them.
