Goulding's Lodge

The Lodge

Goulding’s Lodge offers a quiet place home base that is in line with the nature and atmosphere of the surrounding Monument Valley. The indoor pool is open year round and offers a relaxing respite from touring the sites of Monument Valley and even visiting the near by National Parks with all their activity. In addition you will be able to work off your travel stress in the fitness room, or keep in touch with the outside world utilizing free public internet access and free wireless connection.

Monument Valley is an area of free standing sandstone rock forms that rise majestically from the desert floor. Up to 1,000 feet tall, they create a truly magical desert landscape. The beauty of the area is a fact well documented by the numerous Western movies and television commercials for which Monument Valley has served as a backdrop. This is a unique place to bring the kids and for this reason family suites and cabins are available for large families. Goulding’s Lodge also has a museum, Stagecoach Dining Room, arts and crafts, and the Earth Spirit show, a theatrical production that celebrates the beauty and creation of Monument Valley.

The Cabin

Once you've set up camp, nightly shuttle vans will take you to Goulding's to shop, see the museum, Earth Spirit Show or dine out!

Stagecoach Dining Room

Perched atop of a red rock ledge, breakfast, lunch or dinner is just steps away. Every table has a view. Meals are served by friendly Native Americans who are happy to introduce you to the Navajo Taco. Or feast on American favorites while soaking up the panorama. Open year-round.

Enjoy a delicious meal while experiencing the rugged outdoor beauty of Monument Valley.

Goulding's Museum & Trading Post

Housed in the original 1920's Trading Post, upstairs lived Harry and his wife "Mike" Goulding. They were lifelong friends of the Navajo. Harry brought director John Ford out to see the landscape and the rest is film-making history. Visit a movie set from a John Wayne film, or walk back in time with this wonderful collection of movie making memorabilia and Indian artifacts. Monument Valley is still used for landscape in modern movies and commercials. Open year round with limited hours Nov-March. $2.00 donation goes towards scholarships for local children.

Earth Spirit Show

Shown nightly at "Harry & Mike's" theater, this presentation celebrates the beauty and creation of Monument Valley. Enjoy this award-winning display of sounds and images by photographer Ric Ergenbright. Tickets are complimentary with your stay or with purchase of Goulding's Monument Valley tour tickets. If you're just going to be passing through, tickets are $2.00 per person.
