Monument Valley, Arizona, USA

Monument Valley is situated in the Navajo Indian Reservation in northeastern Arizona and southeastern Utah. The landscape is characterized by tall, red sandstone buttes, mesas, and arches created by erosion, rising up to 300 m (1,000 ft) from a sandy plain. The Navajos have occupied the valley since the 1860s.
