Un trip to the west coast of the United States always contemplate between essential visits el Grand Canyon of the Coloradoto whom you arrive from Las Vegas, either by car (it is ideal), or on a plane excursion,
But I also want to point you out as “almost essential” el Monument Valley.
Of course, it is a natural park that is located further away from Las Vegas, so to include it in your route through the western United States you have to have a couple more days.
It is impossible for me to explain to you the grandeur of this natural area that is located within the navajo indian reservation.
I have to admit, it was one of the places that surprised us the most on our trip along the west coast.
You will see places that will be very familiar to you because they have been the setting for some of the most legendary western films, such as Fort Apache.
