The cat of the valley. A far view of Big Hogan. There is a round hole at the top of the stone theater, and the sun light goes through it, illuminating the bright spot on the wall. People are lying on the foot of the wall to look up at Big Hogan. That is what those people see. The 4-wheel travels on wild land without any road. Monument Valley is perhaps the most famous example of the classic American West landscape. In the Navajo Nation on the border of Arizona and Utah, the valley has been the backdrop for many movies and advertisements, ranging from Marlboro cigarette ads to the films of John Ford to Back to the Future 3 and Forrest Gump.

The Navajos are a proud and happy people. The stories are told in hogans of the many obstacles that were overcome by many a Navajo family. Stories and myths that were acquired through generations before, are being revived through books that are written about the Navajos, but there have been countless stories that have been lost because we had no written language.

There are signs of ancient habitation in the valleys and box canyons all around this area. Here you'll see the petroglyphs, pictographs, and Anasazi dwellings of the 'Ancient Ones'. Take a trip back in time among these ancient surroundings.

Moccasin Arch Monument Valley

See the places where there once were ancient families living among the gigantic red buttes. To see their dwelling places, to picture in your mind the hardships they endured, will make it a memory forever.

Monument Valley is a unique place. There is no other place like this on earth. It is like a Holy Land for many, and a place of worship for many Medicine Men who still hold their daily ceremonial rituals here. Many of the plants that grow here are used year round, whether it is for food, herbs, dyes, or many other useful things.
