Monument Valley, thatfamous site of Western movies,

is actually a Navajo Tribal Parkwithin the 16 million-acre Navajo

Reservation. Established in 1958 on theborder of Arizona and Utah and just westof the Colorado-New Mexico state line,its 30,000 acres contain some of the mostfamous scenic landmarks in the south-west - fanciful rock formations withnames like the “Three Sisters” and the“Mittens” - as well as ancient archaeolog-ical ruins and sacred Native Americanburial grounds.

The Valley first became famous in the1930s, when traders Harry and “Mike”Goulding revealed its uniqueness toHollywood director John Ford. Ford usedthe location as a film set for the movieStagecoach starring John Wayne. Since

then, many other films have been shothere, including Billy the Kid, How theWest Was Won, The Eiger Sanction, Backto the Future III and Thelma and Louise...not to mention some memorable automo-bile commercials.

Monument Valley is one of thoseplaces that define your sense of the West.Why not plan a visit THIS season - don’tput it off another moment! For accommo-dations contact Goulding’s Lodge at 435-727-3231.
