Valley of Monuments

Monument Valley is part of the Colorado Plateau and includes areas in both Utah and Arizona in the American Southwest. 

At an elevation of 5,000 feet to 6,000 feet, the valley is marked by the presence of many red buttes that get their color from the presence of iron oxide. 

Monument Valley is owned by the Navajo Nation as part of Navajo Tribal Park. It has served as a backdrop for numerous movies, particularly Westerns.This is a place I had wanted to visit for several years, so last year I decided to spend my birthday there.
