This trail is already a classic event, offered by the Miller- Ranch. During the past years the Miller-Ranch always had two trails into the Land of the Navajos to the Monument Valley.
In 1992 the Miller-Ranch visited the Monument Valley for the first time with their Fox Trotting Horses that is now 17 years ago. We needed a guide. Nesswood was recommend to us by his uncle Ad Black. Ad was operating a Stable and offered horseback riding into the Monument Valley.

In Ella’s and Arik’s stable one can find “Jazz’s Kodak Moment” from the Miller-Ranch. Hannah, the proud owner, bought this mare in 2006 during a trail to the Monument Valley and she is riding her today in the Holy Land.

It is October 2nd; Chris arrived with his trailer already yesterday because he will take back to California “La Paloma M.R.” when we finish this trail. Today Ella and Arik arrive from Tel Aviv. They will certainly be very tired after this long flight; that is what we assumed. But they are not ..
