The sandstone buttes of Monument Valley represent the epitome of our projection of the American west thanks to decades of use of this land in Hollywood westerns. I felt like I would run into the likes of John Ford, John Wayne, Natalie Wood, Clint Eastwood or James Stewart around each butte. Nothing but epic scenery here. Since this valley is sacred to the Navajo Nation, the most rewarding way to see and understand Monument Valley is with a Navajo guide for context to the rich history and culture of the area.
