What To Expect
Eggshell Arch and the surrounding areas are the most stunning scenery on Navajo land. Located within the Naat’tsis’aan (Navajo Mountain) Scenic Road, this beautiful hidden arch provides an iconic image to tourists and photographers with a golden glow, during certain times a year. With the sun setting directly behind the arch, it provides a super glow effect from the light bouncing off the canyon wall below. This area is also a great place to just get away from life’s busy schedule and enjoy the peaceful scenery of natures surrounding and canyon terrain. The trail to the Arch is rough in terrain (rocky and bumpy). Your party will be traveling in a Closed Cab Truck, to and from the Arch location. Each person (including infants) will need a ticket. So please input the exact number of persons attending the tour, to ensure adequate spacing is available. Will be given EXTRA HOUR! to watch the sunset and take some photos.

Wow!!

5.00We had absolutely wonderful sunset tour. Erica took us to this very remote location over rocky terrain to get there. We had blue skies and got fantastic pictures. We had great discussion with Erica about Navajo traditions including food. We were able to stay at the arch for over an hour to watch the sun slowly set illuminating the arch to a golden glow. Major Wow!!
Best sunset ever

5.00Went with a photography group of 18 in 5 vehicles. Our driver/guide Harold was so interesting and I learned so much about Navaho culture and traditions during our ride out and back, which was an adventure by itself. They drove us to with 200 - 300 feet of the arch and had great suggestions for compositions. Unfortunately a thunderstorm came up so we didn't get a great sunset shot at the arch. However, on the ride back the storm passed and they stopped for a beautiful sunset over the valley. Highly recommend this family tour business!
