Weathered | Monument Valley
Originally covered by oceans and rivers, Monument Valley is a testament to time. Located on the Colorado Plateau near the Arizona-Utah Border, the valley displays the wondrous effects of weathering and erosion. With the softer rock being eaten away over time by the elements, the harder rock is left exposed in curious and awe-inspiring formations that have religious significance for the Diné (Navajo) People and iconic significance for the American West. Pictured here is “Big Indian” (named by the U.S. Board on Geographic Names in 1964), with “Sentinel Rock” in the foreground.
