Photo @ChrisBurkard Pictured in at least 30 major films, Monument Valley looks straight out of the old west, or even an alien planet. Unsurprisingly, it has been used as a filming location for both! An alien planet in Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey, and the old west in John Ford’s Stagecoach. The imagination runs wild with stories here, making it easy to see why it has been the stomping ground for so many creative minds.
