John Ford Point

Valley Drive, located near the Utah-Arizona state line in Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park, is a 17-mile scenic loop through one of the most iconic landscapes in the Southwest, USA. This spot along the road is named John Ford Point, after the director who used it as a location for numerous Western films. Visitors can pay a few dollars to a local horse owner who is stationed in the parking lot to recreate the famous image of a horse rider perched on the edge of the plateau. This horse was aptly named “Pistol”.

Another Instagram spot but still so compelling it is hard to deny the potency of the composition and the genius vision of Director John Ford. . . . #natgeo #natgeotravel #NatGeoYourShot #TLPicks #livetravelchannel #GuardianTravelSnaps #cnntravel #RTWChat #BDTeam #bbctravel #fodorsonthego #lonelyplanet #lensculture #roam247 #artofvisuals #beautifuldestinations #theglobewanderer #PassionPassport #ilovetravel #travelblogger #tourtheplanet #bestintravel #roamtheplanet #picoftheday #ExploringTheGlobe #travel #traveltheworld #aroundtheworld #instatravel #travelphoto #worldcaptures #culturetravel #justgoshoot
Monument Valley, a red-sand desert region on the Arizona-Utah border, is known for the towering sandstone buttes of Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park. The park, frequently a filming location for Western movies, is accessed by the looping, 17-mile Valley Drive. The famous, steeply sloped Mittens buttes can be viewed from the road or from overlooks like John Ford’s Point.
