Monument ValleyMonument Valley provides perhaps the most enduring anddefinitive images of the American West. The isolated redmesas and buttes surrounded by empty, sandy desert havebeen filmed and photographed countless times over theyears for movies, adverts and holiday brochures. Because ofthis, the area may seem quite familiar, even on a first visit,but it is soon evident that the natural colours really are asbright and deep as those in all the pictures.
