Monument Valley is situated along the border of Utah and Arizona within the 16-million-acre Navajo Reservation. Established in 1958, this Tribal Park features 30,000 acres of land roughly 5,500 feet above sea level, offering an ever-changing climate throughout the year. It is best known for its enormous rock features, including buttes, mesas, and cliffs. Among the most famous are the Mittens, two buttes with thin thumb-shaped offshoots. Additional noteworthy sandstone formations include Totem Pole, Elephant Butte, and North Window. Visitors can partake in tours with Navajo guides and visit the restaurant, visitors center, gift shop, and museum while in the park.
