Stagecoach, My Darling Clementine, She Wore A Yellow Ribbon and The Searchers all have one thing in common: Each were directed by John Ford and each used Monument Valley as a backdrop.
Five years ago, I visited Monument Valley and took a half-day tour by a tour company. It was an interesting tour, one I wouldn't mind taking again. I stayed at Goulding's Lodge Campground. (Goulding's Lodge Campground must've been impressed with my photography for they used one of my photos of my motorhome in their reservations website.)
Unfortunately, Monument Valley and other Navajo Tribal Parks are closed to visitors due to COVID-19. But sooner or later, they will re-open again to visitors and I highly recommend a visit.
Cowboy Lifestyle Network has an article on Monument Valley that's loaded with all the information anyone needs once the tribal park reopens. It also includes a video on the Navajo Nation.
They begin with:
Welcome to the first article of our new “Treasures of Navajo Nation” series! Our first article, we are excited to cover everything about Monument Valley. Before we jump in, we would like to preface this article with the most current update regarding Covid and the Navajo Nation. As of May 10, 2021, most Tribal parks remain closed as a precaution to protect the Navajo Nation against Covid-19. We hope you enjoy this article and its information on Monument Valley but will respect the current closures. We hope to help the Navajo Nation spread the word when their parks do start to open up again. If you have questions or concerns about this, please visit the Navajo Nation’s Re-Opening website.
