Monument Valley

Monument Valley

Monument Valley

Probably the most famous example of the classic American West landscape, Monument Valley has been the backdrop for numerous western movies, ranging from Stagecoach starring John Wayne to Back to the Future II. Technically it is not a valley at all, but a wide flat landscape interrupted by the crumbling rock formations. The buttes and mesas are all that is left from the sandstone layers that once covered the entire region and have vivid red tones from the iron oxide. It is located on the Arizona-Utah state line near the Four Corners area.
