I will be in Arizona in January. I will be in Phoenix, the Grand Canyon and Sedona, but have one time slot left. I am debating between Monument Valley and Canyon de Chelly. I've photographed in Monument Valley a number of times and it never gets old. On the other hand, I've never been to Canyon de Chelly. Can't do both on this trip and am interested in your opinions
I've been to both and I think Canyon de Chelly has more to offer. I will ditto what others have said that you should take one of the guided tours from the Navajo's there. The tour I was on lasted all day and takes you to the bottom of the Canyon. You will also need a day to tour the canyon from the top by car. There are two roads -- one for the south rim and one for the north.
Not to say Monument Valley isn't great too.
