Introduction

Monument Valley is a scenic spot in the western United States. It is not a valley, but a landscape built on a vast plain. It mainly includes magnificent red sandstone peaks, spires, and arches towering into the sky, with the highest peak standing hundreds of feet tall, but these landforms are the last remnants of sedimentary rock layers. Monument Valley is a symbol of the history and culture of the western United States. There are colorful flat-topped mountains, which are one of the tribal territories of Native Americans, and an important monument at the junction of four states. Traveling here, you can deeply understand the history of the western United States and the culture of Native Americans, and explore the mysterious and beautiful Monument Valley. Worth mentioning is the scene in the movie "Transformers 4" where the Autobots welcome Optimus Prime's return was filmed here.
