People who are and aren't fans of classic westerns filmed in Monument Valley should include the Navajo Tribal Park in their bucket list of places to see in person. Monument Valley straddles the Arizona-Utah border.
The Charlton Post Courier has an article on Monument Valley and describes it as a "geological gift that keeps on giving."
They begin with:
OLJATO-MONUMENT VALLEY, Ariz. — Deep wonder.
Like one’s first sight of the sea, a sky-piercing peak or soaring redwood forest, this iconic red-sand desert region straddling the Arizona-Utah border is indelible, a marvel to behold. Famed for the towering sandstone buttes of Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park, it is instantly recognizable from many a classic Western movie.
Rising 5,564 feet above sea level and spanning some 91,696 acres, the valley (Navajo name: Tse’Bii’Ndzisgaii) is a geological gift that never fails to enchant, or awe.
