The most famous parts of Monument Valley are inside the Navajo Reservation Tribal Park. You get there after driving through miles of spectacular rock formations. Over the millenia, this area has alternated between being ocean bottom and dryland plateau. What we are seeing as monuments are actually what is left after millions of years of erosion in the beds of Kayenta and Wingate Sandstones. It makes for a very different landscape. |
