A scene seen in many Wild West movies, Monument valley lies in the Navajo Indian reservation on the Utah and Arizona border. We visited Monument Valley around four o'clock, after seeing Antelope Valley. Its about a 3 hour drive and goes through flat desert where all u have is the road in front of you and nothing else on either side. And then when you get to the Monument Valley you see these huge rock formations on either side. These buttes each have different formations and during sunset plays with light and shadow. This place is a definite must see and best for sunrise or sunset. Monument Valley pics:
