Reviewers on this site are either overwhelmed by the beauty of Monument Valley or underwhelmed in comparison to the Utah national parks. I have red dust in my blood, a former Utahn, and I know both views to be true. The park is beautifu,l but the Utah National parks are more accessible and are presented better.

My wife and I truly enjoyed the sights that John Ford and John Wayne used when they made some great movies. It is truly remarkable. more

The valley is awesome. It is definately a must see sight! more
