Do It like Butch Cassidy
Monument Valley
Experience the old west of Butch Cassidy days and tour the desolate terrain known only to outlaws, struggling pioneers, and Native Americans.
The Monument Valley region features Native American culture and heritage. Beautiful red rock scenery, old west trade shops and outfitters.
Monument Valley was created when material eroded from the ancestral Rocky Mountains and was deposited, and cemented into sandstone.
Enchanting Rock Formations
Standing from 400 to 1000 feet high, like sentinels watching over their land.
The present day scenery has changed little from the time Hollywood fell in love with it in 1938. When John Wayne and Glenn Ford come to the valley, to film Stagecoach in black and white.
Over the years Monument Valley has filmed more western movies than almost any other site in the U.S.
Monument Valley was established in 1958. Annually there are over 400,000 tourists from every corner of the world, that come here,
Visitors Center
The Navajo Nation has a visitor’s center, campground and restaurant, at Goulding Lodge.
There are guided jeep tours, visit a hogon and travel into acres of the valley not accessible to private car.
You can see it like it was intended-on horseback-tour or you can take a self guided 17 mile loop drive.
Near the Utah-Arizona border.
See the wonders of discovery among the free standing red rock formations.
Take a camera this is a fascinating area.
