Very easy loop trail. 6.1 Km loop in Monument Valley. Starting from the beginning or car tour, it's a loop trail that will bring down to one of the three major rocks in the park. Closed from 12.00 to… Full review by duric74

It's a great walk - we went in the early afternoon and it was HOT! Lovely views of the buttes, spires and mesas. There were very few people walking so it was lovely to feel we had the gem of Monument… Full review by DREGS

We are very interested in the wildcat trail hike. My wife and I are average+ hikers but the one thing that will deter her from going is the possibility of “venomous reptiles”. Has anyone seen any snakes along the hike?

Ha ha ha... when researching prior to our trip, I cringed when I read about this. I am not fond of reptiles, especially snakes. But we did the trail December 23 and did not encounter any. Not sure in the heat of the summer though, so I guess maybe it depends on when you are planning to go. I would not let that stop me from going on this hike, though. I would take my hiking stick and be very aware of my surroundings, but I don't think it's an issue an all.

First off, mustangs need to remain wild, so trying to pet them is a bad idea. If they lose their fear of people, they will begin to associate all people with food, & just like bears & other wild creatures, this habit always leads to the death of the animals involved, every time. Secondly, a wild horse can literally bite, kick, & accidentally kill you. If a mustang rears up on its hind legs & strikes your head with its front hooves, it’s sending you a strong message—perhaps the last you’ll ever receive. In fact, if you see any horse with its ears flat against its head, pay attention: That horse is not feeling friendly!
