Arizona: Monument Valley
August 5, 2018 5 Comments
Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park is a very scenic location in Utah. It was a place we visited years ago on our first vacation together with our very first camera, and we’ve never forgotten it. We returned to see it again last April and it was even better the second time around. Many classic westerns were filmed in the area including John Wayne in The Searchers, plus also Stagecoach, Back to the Future III, Forrest Gump, The Wind Talkers, and Winged Migration among others. We took a Navajo guided tour by Phillips Photography to see the park and also to photograph the Milky Way and sunrise. Can’t wait to go back!
We filmed the short timelapse movie below at sunset from our room at “The View” Hotel.
I love Monument Valley! Your photos are wonderful.
Thanks! We can’t wait to go back!
I have never been there…bucket list!
Wow, this is a fabulous post. Sounds like you picked just the right way to see this place. I can certainly see why you are eager to go back.
Thank you! Definitely worth a visit. The landscape touches your soul.
