Monument Valley

The section of the Colorado Plateau located in the northern and northeastern part of the state is a maze of valleys and mesas. Carved knobs, rounded domes, and tall rock spires that pierce broad valleys earned the area its name of Monument Valley.

Monument Valley is aptly named for the impressive sculptures carved through time that rise from the valley floor.
