Presentazione generale
Monument Valley
Red buds erected in the desert and emblematic landscapes of the Navajo nation.
Monument Valley, John Ford Point and Mittens give the most telling landmarks of Monument Valley. Together, they form a destination where desert areas, heritage and natural spaces meet, with atmospheres that change over the stages rather than just one uniform decor.
Vedi tutto
For a stay of 2 to 4 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be anticipated: conditions to be checked according to the season. A car is usually the easiest way to connect the different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be verified step by step.

Nature and panorama
Monument Valley
Monument Valley aline sandstone butts, red mesas and dusty tracks in a Navajo landscape become one of the most recognizable images of the American West. The valley reads from the viewpoints as well as from the inner road, where the formations take very different names, shadows and proportions.
Nature and landscape
John Ford Point
John Ford Point opens a frontal view of the buttocks of Monument Valley, with a rocky promontory associated with the westerns turned in the area. The site may seem familiar before even having gone there; on the spot, it is mainly the empty space, the red dust and the low line of the horizon that mark.
Place indismissible
Mittens
The Mittens, West Mitten and East Mitten, set their twin silhouettes above the red plain of Monument Valley. Views from the right angle, their "inches" of sandstone respond on both sides of the landscape; at sunrise or sunset, their elongated shadows highlight their full presence.
Nature and panorama
Valley Drive
Valley Drive is the track that descends into the heart of Monument Valley, between isolated butts, massive mesas and sandy views. The course is slow, sometimes bumpy, but it completely changes the relationship to the landscape: the formations are no longer just a panorama, they become markers around which the road turns.
