For many people Monument Valley is the purest definition of the American West. Known from many movies for which it was a perfect setting it contains some of the most dramatic rock formations (so called 'buttes').

Monument valley is located on Navajo territory and isn't a national park. For a small fee, however, it may be freely visited. The two-hour drive through on an unpaved road the valley is more than fascinating and a great experience. We spend an entire afternoon in the valley and its nice visitor center and by looking at our pictures, you can understand our fascination.

Für viele Leute ist "Monument Valley" der Inbegriff des amerikanischen Westens. Bekannt ist die Gegend vor allem aus vielen Filmen, für die es eine ideale Kulisse bildete. Im Tal finden sich einige der dramatischsten Felsformationen in den USA. Monument Valley befindet sich auf dem Territorium der Navajo Indianer and ist kein Nationalpark. Gegen eine geringe Gebühr kann man aber das Tal frei besuchen. Die zweistündige Fahrt auf der unbefestigten Strasse durch das Tal ist überwältigend und eine tolle Erfahrung. Wir verbrachten fast den ganzen Nachmittag im Tal und seinem angenehmen Besucherzentrum. Wenn Ihr unsere Bilder anschaut, könnt Ihr unsere Faszination sicher verstehen.
