"Signs of the old hunters" Top 5 Page for this destination Monument Valley State Park Off The Beaten Path Tip by Trekki

  Antelope signs - carved in the redstone
by Trekki
 
 

The old native hunters left their signs everywhere in the area and also in the tribal park.

Far remote inside the park, there are these carvings of antelopes (near Thunderbird Mesa).

You need to organize yourself a guided tour, as you can't get that far into the park on your own.
Apart from that, it's better to have a local guide, as you learn much more about Navajo culture, and they will prevent you from running around disturbing the todays' settlers.
Keep in mind that a lot of people have a private life in the park.
