It really is quite amazing to stand in that valley looking out at all
the formations.  I can say that it is well worth getting a
personalized tour for just your group.  It lets you see what you want
at the pace you want.  In our case, we had a 4wd air conditioned van
to travel around in. Made it much more pleasant.  Most of the tour
vehicles are open air and you just sit in the back and get hot and
very dusty.

I do hope you can go there someday.
