In the 1994 movie, "Forrest Gump," the main character goes for a "little run." Thinking he would run just to the end of the road, he went on, through his town, across the county, and eventually across America.
At the culmination of thousands of miles, he stops, in none other than breathtaking Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park in Southeast Utah. This scene, along with countless other movies shot in Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park over the years, has made this portion of the Navajo Nation synonymous with what many envision the American West to be.
