Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park

Monument Valley is a large area within the Navajo Nation on the Arizona/Utah border. It is famous for its frequent appearance in some famous movies, notably many Westerns directed by John Ford, such as Stagecoach and The Searchers.

The most well-known of the formations are to be found in Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park, where for a modest fee, you can go on a driving loop that covers most of the highlights. (For larger fees you can go on guided tours that cover areas not otherwise open to the public.)
