Discover the landscape director John Ford described as “where God put the West” with this jaw-dropping self-guided driving tour through Monument Valley, Utah!
Monument Valley:
Explore the valley that’s become the quintessential Hollywood image for the Wild West! There’s a reason this staggeringly beautiful, untouched landscape is so popular on the silver screen, but that’s nothing compared to experiencing it in person. The seemingly endless flatland broken by looming, impossible buttes and mesas is a truly awe-inspiring sight.
See the spot where Forrest Gump famously ended his long run in the Tom Hanks film and snap a few stunning photos to show your friends. Cruise along vast flatland surrounded by towering, ancient monoliths, and hear how such a strange landscape actually formed. Plus, listen to the tale of a brash, greedy silver prospector who tried to steal from this land and paid the ultimate price.
Learn the history and traditions of the Navajo who control this valley, and hear about the families who live here to this day—without running water or electricity! There’s no place on earth like Monument Valley, so get out there and witness the true American West.
Featuring compelling stories, a lively narrator, and easy automatic audio, this app puts exploration in the palm of your hand!
