West and East Mitten Buttes

West and East Mitten Buttes are two of the most recognised and photographed landmarks in Monument Valley. These towering sandstone formations, which rise nearly 1,000 feet above the desert floor, resemble two massive hands reaching towards the sky. The buttes are named for their distinct mitten-like shapes. Visitors can view the Mittens from several vantage points within the park, and they are often featured in sunrise and sunset photography for their stunning silhouettes against the desert sky. These natural monuments hold deep cultural significance to the Navajo people and are symbolic of the landscape’s timeless beauty.

The North Window Overlook is a serene spot in Monument Valley that offers a framed view of some of the valley’s most prominent buttes and mesas.

This spot is perfect for photography and allows visitors to take in the vastness of the desert floor, with its rich red hues and striking rock formations. The North Window is a peaceful place to reflect on the beauty of the land and is less crowded than other viewpoints.
