13 Gorgeous Pictures of Monument Valley

Monument Valley is a Navajo Nation region that resides between the Utah and Arizona state line.  It is most famous for its sandstone buttes, with the tallest one reach 1,000 ft above the bottom of the valley.  Because of its unique landscape and 360 degrees of beauty, it is a major location for photographers wanting panoramic shots of nature at its finest.  Because the valley is on the land of the Navajo, you will have to pay an entrance fee to the Navajo Nation as you enter.
