Arizona has no shortage of picture-perfect natural wonders, but one, in particular, doesn’t get nearly enough recognition. Straddling the border with Utah, Monument Valley is among the most photographed places on Earth—and it’s easy to understand why.
Located on sacred Navajo land, Monument Valley Park is an ancient lowland basin with stunning rock formations that are 50 million years in the making.
You'll be hard-pressed to find better windshield views anywhere else in Arizona.
Please note: Monument Valley Park is currently closed to visitors, but keep it in mind for future travels! Visit the official website or Facebook page to learn more.
