Route 163 ,Monument Valley.
The long, straight stretch of U.S. Highway 163 cuts through the desert, leading towards the iconic landscape of Monument Valley, with towering sandstone buttes and mesas set against a vibrant sky . This is a view forever etched in pop culture thanks to Forrest Gump, who stopped right here during his legendary run across the US.Monument Valley is one of those places that many people know about but not many experience. At least, not experience well. Located on the border of Arizona and Utah, Monument Valley is seemingly in the middle of nowhere but also in between iconic locations like Moab, The Grand-Staircase Escalante, and The Grand Canyon. It’s a sacred valley in the heart of Navajo Nation and became a tourist destination for its towering red rock beauty and its infamous filming locations. Director John Ford began filming westerns here back in the 1930’s . A big thank you to everyone who took time to comment and take a look at my photo. Much appreciated, and have a great week !
