Monument Valley (Navajo: Tse'Bii'Ndzisgaii) is an area in the United States, on the border between the states of Utah and Arizona, known for the unique rock formations found there. It is located on the Colorado Plateau 100 km west of Four Corners, the point where the states of Utah, Arizona, Colorado and New Mexico meet. Monument Valley is part of the Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park of the Navajo Indians, and is accessible via U.S. Route 163. Monument Valley is perhaps one of the most photographed areas in America. The backdrop of red rock formations and the surrounding desert has served as a set in many a western and documentary about the Wild West. Some films shot here include the 1939 John Ford-directed film Stagecoach starring John Wayne, Sergio Leone's Once Upon a Time in the West and Clint Eastwood's The Eiger Sanction. Ford would make nine more films in the area. Back to the Future III was also partially shot here. Monument Valley has also figured in television movies and series, advertising campaigns and travel brochures as the symbol of the West.
