Monument Valley...Hallowed Ground

Monument Valley is one of the scenic wonders of the world. Located in the northern Arizona and southern border of Utah, Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park offers spectacular views of buttes, mesas, canyons and free standing rock formations that will take your breath away.

Created from materials eroded from the Rockey Mountains and deposited with earlier layers for the formation of stratified buttes, Monument Valley has withstood the test of time.

This is considered by movie fans as "hallowed ground" since John Wayne made several western movies here. Among them are "Wagon Train", "She Wore A Yellow Ribbon", "The Searchers" and the very first one "The Lady and The Bad Man".

Its hard to tour this area without taking a lot of pictures and I guess I'm not alone in doing this. Break out the pop corn and enjoy the pictures.
