Gouldings Lodge is a great little lodge, the accommodation probably won’t be the best you’ve ever stayed in, but the location might well be. It is located just 4 miles from the entrance of Monument Valley and offers great photographic opportunities. The lodge itself is set itself against a steep cliff face. It is definitely worth staying here, rather than cheaper lodging in Mexican Hat or Kayenta. You will be able to get great sunrise and sunset opportunities. When visiting Monument Valley I also heartily recommend one of the guided tours with the Navajo Nation. These tours let you go deeper into the Valley and they will show you some amazing scenes and you will be able to get some great shots. It’s been a few years since we were at the lodge, but the food at the restaurant wasn’t that great when we were there. So my top tip is to buy a throw away BBQ from the camping shop near the lodge and have a BBQ on you balcony overlooking the valley.
