Geronimo

Jaw dropping scenery today as we toured Monument Valley. The sheer size and scale of the vast sandstone buttes in the Navajo Nation Reservation was wonderous. 

We are staying where John Wayne used to stay during filming and the surrounding area has been used in many John Ford films such as Stagecoach 1939 and The Searchers 1965. It aslo features in Forrest Gump, Easy Rider 1969, Doctor Who, and The Eiger Sanction. I can totally see why it was used as a location for Westerns and almost expected a stagecoach to come past kicking up the dust on the plains.
