Monument Valley is a Navajo Tribal area in southern Utah and northern Arizona that is known for its sandstone buttes. This region has been used in filming many popular western movies including My Darling Clementine (1946), Stagecoach (1939), The Lone Ranger (2013), and many more. Especially because of the excess of western-themed movies filmed in this district, Monument Valley has become the iconic image of the American West. This breathtaking valley filled with buttes towering from heights of 400 feet to over 1,000 feet has pictures, videos, films, and so much more media broadcast worldwide.
