The Monumental Native American Valley
The Merrick Butte in Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park, Utah, looks like something from an Old Western movie set. But although it’s served as the backdrop for many John Ford movies, it’s real. Arguably, the best experience is staying overnight then riding into the park with a Native American guide who can arrange a visit with local residents.
When there is a full moon, night excursions are particularly magical.
