Monument Valley Tribal Park is a world of weather-carved rock and wind-driven sand, of massive buttes painted with dark desert varnish, of hardy plants clinging to the earth. Stunning photographs showcase the area.
After I visited majestic Monument Valley, which bisects Utah and Arizona, where four states (AZ, UT, CO, & NM) meet, I searched for picture book that would bring back the memories of the beauty of the valley to me. I found such a book in "Monument Valley, Navajo Tribal Park," by the author, Companion Press. The book contains some historical background on the Valley (written by Anne Markward) mixed with some Native American thoughts and poetry. There are some amazing color photographs of the Valley as well as some early b & w photos of the Valley's inhabitants (Navajo Nation & early trader, Harry Goulding). I recommend the hardback edition. And for some moving pictures of Monument Valley, I recommend both John Ford's, the Searchers and James William Guerico's Electra Glide in Blue with feature the grandeur of Monument Valley.
