Download or read book Monument Valley in Black and White written by Paul Moore and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-05-24 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a photography book, and although some tips are offered to aid others in similar photography, it is not an instruction manual nor is it a travel guide. There is very little text. Monument Valley is a spectacular location where hundreds of Hollywood films have been produced and countless scenes for television programs and commercials have been created. If you should be fortunate enough to travel there please bare in mind that Monument Valley is not a national or state park and that it is part of, and belongs to, the Navajo Nation. You are a guest there, you are in a sacred area and you are in their home. Please behave accordingly. The entrance to Monument Valley is just across the Arizona - Utah border in southern Utah but all the monuments are located in Arizona. I have confirmed this with both maps and discussions with the Navajo people who live there. This would not seem to be a point of contention but it has come up all too frequently. If you are taking a photograph with your lens pointed north then the monument you are photographing is in Arizona but the background is in Utah. Monument Valley is rather remote however there is a new hotel, The View Hotel, that is located at the very edge of Monument Valley, is rather nice and has a good restaurant and is only a short walking distance to a very popular vantage point should you wish to take photographs at dawn. I usually stay at the Hampton Inn in the town of Kayenta Arizona. It is a 22 mile drive to the Valley but I often find many photographic opportunities along the way. The following photographs were taken with an assortment of film cameras over a rather long period. This book contains more than 60 photographs all in black and white.
Download or read book Rainbow Bridge to Monument Valley written by Thomas J. Harvey and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2013-07-29 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Colorado River Plateau is home to two of the best-known landscapes in the world: Rainbow Bridge in southern Utah and Monument Valley on the Utah-Arizona border. Twentieth-century popular culture made these places icons of the American West, and advertising continues to exploit their significance today. In Rainbow Bridge to Monument Valley, Thomas J. Harvey artfully tells how Navajos and Anglo-Americans created fabrics of meaning out of this stunning desert landscape, space that western novelist Zane Grey called “the storehouse of unlived years,” where a rugged, more authentic life beckoned. Harvey explores the different ways in which the two societies imbued the landscape with deep cultural significance. Navajos long ago incorporated Rainbow Bridge into the complex origin story that embodies their religion and worldview. In the early 1900s, archaeologists crossed paths with Grey in the Rainbow Bridge area. Grey, credited with making the modern western novel popular, sought freedom from the contemporary world and reimagined the landscape for his own purposes. In the process, Harvey shows, Grey erased most of the Navajo inhabitants. This view of the landscape culminated in filmmaker John Ford’s use of Monument Valley as the setting for his epic mid-twentieth-century Westerns. Harvey extends the story into the late twentieth century when environmentalists sought to set aside Rainbow Bridge as a symbolic remnant of nature untainted by modernization. Tourists continue to flock to Monument Valley and Rainbow Bridge, as they have for a century, but the landscapes are most familiar today because of their appearances in advertising. Monument Valley has been used to sell perfume, beer, and sport utility vehicles. Encompassing the history of the Navajo, archaeology, literature, film, environmentalism, and tourism, Rainbow Bridge to Monument Valley explores how these rock formations, Navajo sacred spaces still, have become embedded in the modern identity of the American West—and of the nation itself.

Needles is primarily a hiking adventure that lures backcountry hikers from around the world to marvel at its geology along its 60 miles (96 km) of trails. It also has challenging 4-Wheel Drive (4-WD) roads of which Elephant Hill is considered one of the most challenging roads in Utah. Within Needles there are many natural arches and ancient Indian ruins and their rock art consisting of petroglyphs and pictographs. Unique to Needles, are the pictographs of faces and especially the All American Man, who is hidden in a small cave.> National Bridges National Monument - This primary attraction consists of three massive natural bridges created by water erosion, unlike arches that are created by wind erosion and natural decomposition. There is a driving loop coupled with a short walk to an overlook of each of these bridges. The charm is a canyon hike that passes under each bridge. Along this trail are ancient Anasazi Ruins and rock art.> Gooseneck State Park - The San Juan River twists 6 miles (9.7 km) while only traversing 1.5 miles (2.4 km) east to west. The river is almost 1,500 feet (457 m) below the cliff edge. > Hovenweep National Monument - This trip goes to an area where over 2,500 people lived in four separate villages arriving here about 900 A.D. All their dwellings were on an open mesa or in a shallow canyon, that are easily accessible. What makes these ruins very unique, are their artistic designs. > Monument Valley - No area on earth is more representative of America's wild west era of cowboys and Indians. There is a 17-mile (27 km) driving tour along these buttes (mittens). Individual Navajo guided tours are also available that includes horse rides. This park is owned by the Navajo Indian nation.> Navajo National Monument - This 'park' hosts the finest preserved ancient Anasazi Indian ruin village in the U.S. - Keet Seel. Another adjacent ancient village is Betaken. Both villages are open to hikers guided by a Ranger. Keet Seel is a suggested overnight hike. There are two excellent park campgrounds.> Grand Gulch Indian Ruins - This general area hosts over 2,500 ancient Indian ruins and unlimited hiking. The most concentrated and grandeur are in Grand Gulch whose distance to the San Juan River is 50 miles (80 km). Near this gulch are other ruins in various canyons. The most significant is Moon House Ruin known for its broad white banner, with an image of a moon within it. > Valley of the Gods - This area hosts magnificent buttes on a smaller scale than those at Monument Valley.
