M for Monument Valley #BlogchatterA2Z

Monument Valley, Arizona

This red sandstone region is a park on the border of Utah and Arizona. This is called Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park.

This is neither a national park nor a National Monument, but it is more scenic than most other national parks we visited. It is a must-visit place if you are visiting Utah. The scenery reminds you of Wild West movies (Cowboy movies).

There is a 17-mile scenic drive to see the magnificent red sandstone formations called buttes, spires, and mesas. Some areas of the park are accessible only through guided tours. Monument Valley is a window to the Navajo culture.

Here is our travelogue.

Did you see the movie "Forrest Gump"? Then, you might remember this view. Many people park their cars on the side of the road and take pics from the middle of the road for this view.. We did too :-)

Until next time,

I'm participating in #BlogchatterA2Z
