From Sandstone to Celluloid
Monument Valley’s Vermilion Buttes Have Come to Symbolize the American West
f there is one place in the country that screams “This is the American West” in full
voice, that place is Monument Valley. Its vermilion rock formations thrust skyward
Ilike giant hands that extend to the horizon in an endless parade of buttes, mesas
and spires. Monument Valley occupies more than a geographical space, it occupies
a niche in our culture that speaks to the American West in a way no place else quite
does.
