Nestled near the Four Corners region, Monument Valley stands as a legendary symbol of the American West. This awe-inspiring landscape, encompassing a mere 50 square miles, has captivated imaginations since the 1930s, featuring in countless movies like Forrest Gump, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, and Back to the Future III. Its towering sandstone buttes have become synonymous with the Wild West.
Monument Valley's fiery colors and perfectly stratified rock formations offer a glimpse into the area's geological wonders. One of its most recognizable features is the Eye of the Sun, a natural wonder formed from distinct layers of sediment - Organ Rock Shale, De Chelly Sandstone, Moenkopi Formation, and Shinarump Conglomerate.
Similar to Canyon de Chelly, Monument Valley falls within the Navajo Nation. While visitors can explore the park on designated self-guided drives, certain areas require a guided tour led by experienced Navajo guides.
Accommodation options within the park are limited, but the singular lodge offers breathtaking views, making your stay an unforgettable experience.
Monument Valley beckons with its timeless beauty and rich cultural heritage. Plan your adventure and discover why this iconic landscape continues to enthrall travelers from around the world.
