More about this place

Monument Valley Drive is a scenic route that takes you through the stunning red rock formations of the Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park. The 17-mile drive winds through a vast, open landscape dominated by towering mesas and buttes, including West Mitten, East Mitten, and Merrick Butte. The route has been featured in numerous films, TV shows, and advertisements, and has become an iconic symbol of the American West.

You can stop at designated viewpoints along the way to take in the breathtaking scenery, snap photos, and learn about the history and culture of the Navajo people who have inhabited the area for centuries.
