Monument Valley Simpson's Trailhandler Tours: Mystery Valley

Please check out our available tours to combine with your overnight stay in the Hogan:

Are you considering or wondering about lodging possibilities in the Monument Valley area? How about an overnight stay in an authentic Navajo hogan?

A Navajo hogan is an authentic, traditional Navajo home. This multi-sided or dome-shaped dwelling with a doorway facing east is a place that is cherished and respected by all Navajos. Navajo creation stories describe how First Man and First Woman built the original hogan. It represents the universe and all the things in it. The hogan also represents the harmony that can be found in Nature.

A hogan is more than a home. Being a representation of the universe, it is also a sacred place for Navajo ceremonies.

Inside a hogan, a woodburing stove sits in the center of a single, unpartitioned room, and a stovepipe extends through the open smokehole.

The structure and materials of the Hogan are made out of natural resources such as desert juniper treesand ponderosa, juniper barks (for insulation), and dirt (red desert earth) plastered over the dome-shape structure - much like the igloo-shape of the Eskimos - made out of juniper logs. It's a perfect dwelling for such a delightful people as the Navajos. It's cool in the heat of the summer and warm in the winter.

We greatly enjoy sharing and letting you experience the original Navajo culture, traditions and our precious heritage. The Hogan overnight stay, which is private, comes complete with a delicious traditional Navajo Taco dinner. Staying in a hogan is like staying at a Residential, Primitive Camp. During the evening a campfire will be made: a wonderful time as we will share with you an experience of the Navajo way of Life with Navajo songs and stories.
