Almost there! Monument Valley is flat sandy desert filled with sandstone buttes and pinnacles, located within the Navajo Indian Reservation straddling the border lands of Arizona and Utah in the American Southwest.
If it looks like some cowboys are about to come riding into the picture that’s because this area was a favourite setting for the Old West of filmmakers like John Ford.
Pinnacles.
Buttes.

In the States the old wooden wagon wheels are used mostly for decor such as this one decorating a fence.
Details of an old cart at an old ranch in the Valley.
God Bless America!
Didn’t see any horses around though.

We went from our amazing campsite at Goosenecks State Park in Utah down to Arizona driving through the Valley of the Gods and then Monument Valley, before spending the night in Page, Arizona.
Very nice photos of this Western landscape made famous by many movies!
