Monument Valley

On Halloween’s day, my husband and I decided to abandon the tricker treaters, left the house in total darkness, and headed up to the place called Monument Valley, located just south of Utah border and Arizona, near the four corners area, where Utah, Arizona, Colorado, and New Mexico touch.
Monument Valley boasts of beautiful rock formations that were slowly revealed through erosion some 50 million years ago, producing one of the most majestic and photographed landscapes on earth. It’s where many motion pictures were filmed, like Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, Once Upon a Time in the West, Marlboro commercials, to name a few.
We didn’t get to explore the valley because the tour cost a little too much, and we didn’t feel like spending our hard-earned money on pricey tour. Yes, there might have been more to see down the valley, but that can wait until later when we go back there again.
This time, I would like to share with you, my blogger friends and readers, the Monument Valley.






wow…you have a breathtakingly beautiful places to visit there, Belle! great shots…
beautiful place. beautiful photos.
I noticed, sya nga yung nakikita ko lagi sa movie. So you went there all geared up? Overnight? Is it allowed to stay over near those rocks and go camping? Free ba yung site or meron na namang mga surveillance and entrance guard? Hehehe, I am asking just in case I’d go for a visit ta baging ung gayun.
Magayon talaga!
Sabi ko Magayon tagala.. on my previous comment.
Kaso nawara baga bigla.
Looks like a great place to visit. Yet another place to add on my must-visit list.
Those are breathtaking photos. I just love the dramatic changes in the sky as the hours pass by. Thanks for sharing.
