Things to do in Monument Valley

Monument Valley, located on the border between Utah and Arizona, is part of the Colorado Plateau. The Valley sits within the Navajo Nation Reservation and it remained a remote location until the 1930’s when the location was featured in multiple western movies.

The main trail is the Tribal Park Loop, a 17-mile scenic drive that passes by the Valley's most popular sites. Other popular trails include the Wildcat Trail, perfect for a moderate-intensity hike, and the Mystery Valley that offers a more cultural experience, allowing visitors to admire petroglyphs and Anasazi sites.

Some of the Valley's top attractions include Mexican Hat, a rock formation named for its Mexican Sombrero-like appearance, the Teardrop Arch, and the famous view of Monument Valley featured in the movie Forrest Gump.
