Monument Valley, located on the Arizona-Utah state line, is the site of a cluster of magnificent sandstone buttes, the tallest of which reach 1,000 feet above the valley floor. Read More...
The valley is part of Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park, a Navajo Nation equivalent to a national park. The entire area is located within the Navajo Indian Reservation near the town of Goulding, originally established in 1923 as a trading post. The Monument Valley has been the site to a number of films and television shows since the 1930s and for some time defined what people thought of when they pictured the American West.
Visitors to the valley have a good option of ways to experience the area, all of which are made more memorable by the stunning surrounding vistas. Go for a scenic drive along the 17-mile dirt road, schedule a Jeep tour guided by local Navajo, go for a ride on horseback or get a bird’s-eye view from a hot air balloon. Certain areas offer camping, hiking, hunting, and fishing, and restaurants and museums aren’t far from the park.
