The Milky Way Over Monument Valley

You don't have to be at Monument Valley to see the Milky Way arch across the sky like this, but it helps. Only at Monument Valley would you see a picturesque foreground that includes these iconic rock peaks called buttes. Buttes are composed of hard rock left behind after water has eroded the surrounding soft rock. The closest buttes on the left are known as the Mittens.
