John Sexton runs his workshops there, it has a great Lodge (Recapture) and a grommet restaurant. Call Vaughn at "Far Out Expeditions" He has access to many Monument Valley & Valley of the Gods roads available by special permit only, also some Anasazi Indian ruins not many people can find. He is hired by Sexton to find great but off the beaten path shots. The restaurant in Bluff has a photography gallery that is awesome. Special equipment: Lug sole shoes- plan on climbing rocks, plan on climbing wet rocks. This point cannot be stressed enough. Just because it's called desert doesn't mean it's warm. Flash floods can happen real fast (hence the name I suppose). Gore-Tex is your friend. Look up alot- you just have no conception how fast a storm can roll in. Lots of the native carvings are very interesting as well as the rock itself but very close in tone (1-2 stops). With my 4x5 I used Tech-pan to bring it out. Bring contrasty film. Velvia ect. I went with a 4x5 w/90,165,210. Fuji 6x9 wide, Leica M w/35,50,75. Ended up using the M a lot because of the shear physical effort, but at 47 years and 225 pounds I'm no gazelle, of the climbing and hiking. A lot of orange and red rock looked great with a enhancing filter (Singh-Ray- a little more subtle).
