Monument Valley, that
famous site of Western movies,
is actually a Navajo Tribal Park
within the 16 million-acre Navajo
Reservation. Established in 1958 on the
border of Arizona and Utah and just west
of the Colorado-New Mexico state line,
its 30,000 acres contain some of the most
famous scenic landmarks in the southwest - fanciful rock formations with
names like the “Three Sisters” and the
“Mittens” - as well as ancient archaeological ruins and sacred Native American
burial grounds.
The Valley first became famous in the
1930s, when traders Harry and “Mike”
Goulding revealed its uniqueness to
Hollywood director John Ford. Ford used
the location as a film set for the movie
Stagecoach starring John Wayne. Since

then, many other films have been shot
here, including Billy the Kid, How the
West Was Won, The Eiger Sanction, Back
to the Future III and Thelma and Louise...
not to mention some memorable automobile commercials.
Monument Valley is one of those
places that define your sense of the West.
Why not plan a visit THIS season - don’t
put it off another moment! For accommodations contact Goulding’s Lodge at 435727-3231.
