On the Arizona/Utah border, the unique spires, buttes and mesas of Monument Valley are the focus of your aerial tour around these natural monuments set down in a vast, flat desert. Next you will continue toward Page, Arizona. Past Navajo Mountain, over the shimmering turquoise waters of Lake Powell and the Glen Canyon Dam.
