Monument Valley 1




We went to stay at Goudlings - a great campsite and centre for tours of Monument Valley. The "mitten" formation is pretty famous and was used in several movies, particularly with John Wayne. The campsite has a museum about the Gouldings and how they got Hollywood interested in making movies here. We even got to watch "Stagecoach" and you could see the places where they filmed it. It is in Navajo nation - and they were often extras pretending to be Apaches or whatever was needed for the movies.
