Monument Valley is a region of the Colorado Plateau characterized by a cluster of vast sandstone buttes, the largest reaching 300 m above the valley floor. It is located on the Arizona–Utah border, near the Four Corners area. The valley lies within the range of the Navajo Nation Reservation and is accessible from U.S. Highway 163.
Monument Valley has been featured in many forms of media since the 1930s. Director John Ford used the location for a number of his best-known films and thus, in the words of critic Keith Phipps, “its five square miles [13 square kilometers] have defined what decades of moviegoers think of when they imagine the American West.
Monument Valley is officially a large area that includes much of the area surrounding Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park, a Navajo Nation equivalent to a national park. Oljato, for example, is also within the area designated as Monument Valley.
1989 – Range Rover advertisment at John Ford Point in Monument Valley, USA 🇺🇸.
Lots of people use their Range Rovers just to run down to the corner.
Want to drive where there are no people? And no pavement?
No problem.
A Range Rover excels in terrain that would have other 4-wheel drive vehicles waiting for a tow truck.
What’s more, this same Range Rover excels on the road, as well. It also out-does a host of luxury cars in posh and polish. And this year, it
even has a new anti-lock braking system many experts consider the most sophisticated in the world.
So whether you’d like the standard, extravagantly appointed Range Rover or the even more opulent County model, call 1-800 FINE 4WD for a dealer near you.
Admittedly, Range Rovers aren’t inexpensive. But then, people don’t buy them just to run to the corner.
They also buy them to be sure they’ll get back.
Visitors may pay an access fee and drive through the park on a 27 km dirt road (a 2-3 hour trip). Parts of Monument Valley, such as Mystery Valley and Hunts Mesa, are accessible only by guided tour.
Thank you Peter Ohlson for finding this location!
