Description
Monument Valley is not a valley at all, but rather a wide, flat landscape interrupted by colorful red buttes and spires rising hundreds of feet into the air. These are the last remnants of the sedimentary rock layers that once covered the entire region. Monument Valley is contained entirely within the Navajo reservation, occupying both Utah and Arizona. This is is one of the most remarkable, beautiful and famous landscapes in the world, early recognized by Hollywood as a stunning background for western films. Visitors can drive through the valley on a 17 mile dirt road to get closer views of the many, majestic rock formations. This landscape of various desert plants and an old twisted fallen tree, with the West Mitten formation in the background, was viewed from this dirt road through the valley.
