One of my favorite places in the Southwest to visit is Monument Valley Tribal Park. I was last there in October. It is about three hours from home.
It has been used over the years for location shoots of many movies, including, Stagecoach, My Darling Clementine, She Wore A Yellow Ribbon, The Searchers and many others.
Easy Reader News has posted an article on visiting Monument Valley.
It begins with:
There is a very special place on the Arizona/Utah border that is synonymous with the American West and should be visited by every photographer at least once. This giant landscape is tailor-made for mobile phone cameras and the ultra-wide angle lens. No fancy gear needed!
It’s Monument Valley, part of the Navajo Nation, discovered by the director John Ford back in the 1930s, and immortalized ever since in such films as “Stagecoach” “Back to the Future III” and “Thelma and Louise.”
