Monument Valley
Marvelous, Breathtaking,
Nature’s Architecture,
Melancholic, Mastery, and
Grandiosity.
One
of
the
grandest
landmarks
in
the
United
States,
Monument
Valley
Navajo
Tribal
Park
is
a
sprawling,
sandy
preserve
that
spans
the
border
between
Arizona
and
Utah,
bathing
the
region
in
rich
red
hues.
Dominated
by
crimson
mesas
and
surreal
sandstone
towers
–
some
as
tall
as
1,000
feet
–
the
area
is
also
known
for
dramatic,
mesmerizing
lighting,
with
the
sun
illuminating
the
towers
and
casting long shadows on the valley floor.
Located
inside
the
Navajo
Nation
–
one
of
the
largest
Native
American
tribes
in
the
United
States
Now
part
of
the
Colorado
Plateau,
Monument
Valley
was
once
a
simple
flat
basin.
Over
millions
of
years,
layers
of
sediment
piled
onto
the
basin,
which
was
eventually
uplifted
by
pressure
from
below.
Then,
wind
and
water
slowly
eroded
the
plateau,
leaving
Cutler
Red
siltstone
and
its
sand
behind,
forming
the
wonders
of
Monument
Valley
that we enjoy today.
