MONUMENT VALLEY, Arizona, U.S.A: Colorado Plateau and Navajo Tribal Park

Posted by: kirsty_wilson in North America, tags: Arizona, Deserts, USA, Utah

Where is Monument Valley?

Monument Valley

Monument Valley is located on the northern border of the southern state of Arizona and into southern Utah. Its infamous for the majestic, red buttes of sandstone rising up from the desolate landscape to form part of the Colorado Plateau. The tallest of these buttes tower some 300 meters into the sky. For me, Monument Valley represents the wild west of America. I can remember watching early Cowboy & Indian movies that showed such scenery and I have always been in awe of such landscapes.

Navajo Indian Reservation makes up much of Monument Valley. The Navajo Nation’s Monument Valley Park is located south of the border in Arizona and attracts visitors from all over the world. The park offers a self guided 27km drive through the valley and an optional 47km guided tour through the back country that is home to Navajo families.

Get inspired to visit this travel destination with the DVD ‘Nature Wonders: MONUMENT VALLEY U.S.A.’
