Monument Valley is famous for the setting of numerous movies, including several John Wayne westerns. The valley is on Navajo Nation land, so national park passes are not accepted. Admission was $5 per person. A number of guided Jeep tours were available for an extra charge, but we opted for the 17-mile scenic loop drive in our own Jeep.
After driving the loop, we decided to eat at the monument restaurant. John and I had the Green Chili Stew...boy was it a good choice!
