MONUMENT VALLEY
This page contains images from a road trip through Nevada, Arizona, and Utah in early June 2018. Our photo trip included three National Parks, a Navajo Tribal Park, and a Nevada State Park. Each setting offered something special, often iconic to capture.
Images shown here are from The Navajo Tribal Park, Monument Valley which straddles the Arizona – Utah border in the Navajo Nation near the Four Corners area of the U.S. This iconic region of the Colorado plateau consists of vast sandstone buttes rising abruptly from the desert valley floor. I have wanted to visit Monument Valley for many years, becsuse my grandfather was a member of the film crew for John Ford’s landmark western movie, Stagecoach, which was filmed there.
