Cost: $2,095
 Day One
* We'll begin loading gear at 7:30am and will depart Phoenix by 8am.
* On our way to the Kayenta Inn on the Navajo Reservation, we'll stop at historic Cameron Trading Post for lunch. Navajo tacos are the specialty of the house.
* Possible photo stops along the way may include the ruins of Wupatki and a stop at Coal Mine Canyon, with a sunset opportunity at the Mittens in Monument Valley.
 Day Two
* Our outfitter will pick us up in the morning and we'll spend the day photographing and exploring Mystery Valley.
* We'll arrive at our campsite high atop Hunt’s Mesa in plenty of time to capture what we hope will be a spectacular sunset.
 Day Three
* Photographing a magnificent sunrise from the unique perspective offered by Hunt’s Mesa will be our goal in the morning.
* After breakfast we'll make our way back to Kayenta, stopping to photograph a number of wonderful sights along the way, including Spider Arch.
 Day Four
* Monument Valley's many attractions are our subject today during a full-day tour of the valley. We'll enjoy trips to such well-known areas as the sand dunes, Totem Pole, the Mittens and more. We may also visit the home of Navajo weaver Susie Yazzie.
 Day Five
* Another half-day tour of Monument Valley gives you one last chance to capture the disctinctive character of the landscape. If time permits, we'll stop at Coal Mine Canyon on the return drive.
