Oljato-Monument Valley

Monument Valley is perhaps the first thing that comes to mind when you think of typical southwest USA beauty. The red sandstone mesas and buttes located in Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park, which spans both Arizona and Utah, have been featured in several films.

The valley is classified as the Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park, and access to it is restricted since it is Navajo territory. You may drive yourself on one route, a 17-mile circle known as the Valley Drive. You may also take a guided sightseeing trip to learn more about the area.

From the visitor center, take the 17-mile-long Valley Drive to see some of the most prominent vistas on the Arizona side, including the East and West Mitten Buttes, Elephant Butte, and John Wayne Point. You may stop at John Wayne Point and get your picture taken while riding a horse and looking out over the surroundings, much like John Wayne.
