USA Monument Valley
This is the place where many Western Movies are filmed. Sergio Leone used this spot a lot. It is at the border of Utah and Arizona. Actual spot is in Arizona State though.
Take photos from the rim between the hotel and the entrance to the Scenic Drive, with the evening sun at your back.

Photography Tips
Area is dry and shiny in most part of the year. Whenever I am there a bright sun (it is hot in summer) welcomed me. There are few hotels nearby. I recommend the one run by Navajo Indians. It is about 150-200 bucks excl breakfast.
Travel Information
Very convenient place. It is a State park and you are supposed to pay $20 to get into the park, but it worths. You can drive around in dusty roads so be prepared to come with a SUV or Truck type vehicle. Sedan could be tough. If you prefer to walk, it is fine. But it is about 7 miles walk, so be prepared.
