More about this place

John Ford Point is a popular viewpoint in Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park, named after the famous Hollywood director who filmed many western movies in the area. From the viewpoint, you can enjoy panoramic views of the valley, with its iconic red sandstone formations and towering buttes, set against a backdrop of blue sky and distant mesas. The view is considered one of the most beautiful and photogenic in the park, so don't forget your camera.

Stand in the same spot where John Ford once stood and imagine what it was like to be on a movie set in the Wild West.
