Monument Valley Sunset Tour.

We took a tour of the Valley at Sunset that was different than the tour we made on our own.  We had a guide, Navajo Indian named Leland and he was good to give the history of the valley and the movies locations and the movies that were made at different locations.  There is a John Ford View point where several of the movies were made such as She Wore a Yellow Ribbon and Stagecoach were made.  He also gave us history on  the Navajo Nations and how they were used in the various movies to help their economy.
