Dooley,
We have all been blessed with your photo's. It seems like no two pictures of Monument Valley are the ever the same, there is always some new angle to them to add a new touch. Thanks again.Chester

Congratulations on your marriage! I hope your new bride was as taken with Monument Valley as you were. It is truly a beautiful, unique place - what a great way to start a life together!
Looking forward to those photos, when you have a chance . . . !

Francesco,
I'm amazed that nobody has answered your question! Not sure when you were planning on visiting the US, hope this is soon enough to be helpful.
Keith (aka ethanedwards) has done an incredible job chronicling Duke's movie locations. I don't know if you've perused some of the threads, but I would personally recommend
Duke's Movie Locations - Monument Valley - THE John Ford/John Wayne location! To be perfectly honest, I don't know where it is in relation to any national parks, but I'm sure Google maps will be a big help in that regard (as well as our many well-informed members, some of whom may even have traveled there).
Duke's Movie Locations - Utah - plenty of westerns filmed here! And it's immediately adjacent to Arizona, where there are plenty of Duke locations, both professional (locations) and personal/business (the 26 Bar Ranch in Eagar, a ranch he owned).
I hope that helps a little!

Talk about desolate, but beautiful!
Dusk? Dawn? I don't know the geography of the area, so I don't know what direction we are facing. I'm sure somebody here will have the answer! This picture is absolutely surreal.Chester

This is what I have set as my desktop background. Look familiar to anyone?
Yeah, looks familiar to me for two reasons - (1) obviously Monument Valley, and we've all seen enough pictures of it around here to know it well, and (2) it's MY desktop wallpaper as well!!Do a Google search for images of Monument Valley - some spectacular photos of the place!
