The Monument Valley is one of the most iconic views if it comes to Wild West themes. This is the trailhead for the Wildcat Loop Trail if you want to take a short hike into this unique landscape around the red sandstone rock formations.

The best and typical view is from up here at the Monument Valley Visitor Center, right next to it is the hotel "The View" with probably the most incredible view from the balcony...of West Mitten, East Mitten and Merrick Butte.

We experience the breathtaking Monument Valley on a 1.5-hour tour. We are accompanied by an experienced Navajo guide who leads us through the valley and introduces us to the diverse Native American culture. During several photo stops, we have the opportunity to admire the monumental rock formations.

The terrain of Monument Valley is ancient, resilient, and breathtakingly beautiful. This distinctive landscape was formed by the erosion of the Rocky Mountains' sandstone deposits and geological uplift, and has been further shaped over many centuries by the relentless forces of wind and water.

Contrary to what some might assume, Monument Valley is not a national park, but a tribal park, as it lies within the boundaries of the Navajo Nation. The tribal park designation is important to preserve its unique heritage and geological wonders.
