Monument Valley is a region of the Colorado Plateau characterized by a cluster of sandstone buttes, the largest reaching 300 m above the valley floor. The most famous butte formations are located in northeastern Arizona along the Utah–Arizona state line. The valley is considered sacred by the Navajo Nation, the Native American people within whose reservation it lies. Monument Valley has been featured in many forms of media since the 1930s. Director John Ford used the location for a number of his Westerns.
