Cover more ground to marvel at the wonders of Monument Valley without getting footsore with this scenic tour on horseback. Get paired with your horse at the stables just steps from the Monument Valley Visitor Center, then hop in the saddle and follow your guide along the desert trails to take in the dramatic Mitten Buttes and Merrick Buttes from below, as well as the towering Sentinel Mesa.
First, we’ll assign you a horse based on your experience, weight, and height. Then we’ll start galloping towards the West Mitten Butte, followed by the East Mitten Butte. They are also known together as, The Mittens. 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.
