The monument valley is a region of the Colorado
Plateau located along the Arizona-Utah states line. Its most prominent feature is a cluster of
vast sandstone buttes, the largest reaching 1,000 feet (300 m) above
the valley floor. It is located with the Navajo Nation Reservation.

The elevation of the valley floor ranges from
5,000 to 6,000 feet (1,500 to 1,800 m) above sea level. The valley's vivid
red color comes from iron oxide. The darker, blue-gray rocks in the valley get
their color from manganese oxide.
