Merrick Butte, Monument Valley-Utah

Uploaded: September 14, 2009

Description

Merrick Butte viewed from John Ford's Point.

Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park, Utah.
The valley is not a valley in the conventional sense, but rather a wide flat, sometimes desolate landscape, interrupted by the crumbling formations rising hundreds of feet into the air, the last remnants of the sandstone layers that once covered the entire region.

Have a Great Day
