You will also visit a traditional Navajo Hogan where you can witness the Navajo prepare their wool and demonstrate their craft of rug weaving!  As the sun begins to fade in the west and the stars begin to fill the Monument Valley skies, you will then visit the scenic setting of Rain God Mesa where our Navajo cooks will prepare traditional Navajo tacos with homemade frybread and grill steaks over a campfire.This night you will be able to enjoy your dinner in the greatest outdoor setting you can imagine!  The evening will continue with a special Navajo cultural entertainment program. A Navajo dancer dressed in full regalia, will perform various dances while a master of ceremonies drums and chants and tells stories near an open campfire, and under a sky full of Monument Valley stars! Later in the evening, our guide will bring you to your traditional Hogan, where you will spend the night. The Hogan is made out of natural resources such as desert juniper trees, juniper barks, and dirt plastered over the dome-shape structure made out of juniper logs. It is a traditional Navajo Hogan, so it is important to know, that there is no electricity or running water. For the night we will provide you with a thin mat, a sleeping bag and a lantern. If you wish to have more comfort we would recommend you  bring a pillow and maybe some extra padding such as a camping mat.
