Monument Valley by E.J. Peiker Monument Valley looking north from the site of The View Hotel on the Arizona side of the valley looking north towards Sentinel Mesa and Castle Rock on the Utah side. Monument Valley is a truly spiritual place with fantastic views in every direction. Nothing beats sitting at the edge of the valley early in the morning before the sun rises just listening to the wind while overlooking the majestic scenery. Equipment Used: Canon EOS 1Ds Mark II, 24-105 f/4L, .5sec, f/8, ISO 100.
