Monument Valley

Monument Valley, UT

I have never been to Monument Valley. And yet I have visited dozens of times, through countless television programs and movies, most notably those of John Ford. Monument Valley, even more so than the Grand Canyon, represents the American West. My heart swells when I see those majestic buttes and rock formations. Monument Valley can also seem otherworldly, as if some unseen hand reached down, pinched the land, and drew these strange red formations out of the earth. Yes, I’ve never been there, but before I die, I will walk among those giants.
