In the fall, there is a beautiful cottonwood tree you can see on the Indian guide photo trip. When I was last there in December a few years ago, the guide said October was the best month for such fall colors. Given weather changes, I would ask the photo guide companies what month they would recommend to increase the chances of getting the best fall colors.
Once at Monument Valley, drive to Canyon de Chelley, to see all of their cottonwoods in fall colors.

Going to Colorado this fall but wouldn't hesitate to return to MV in future. I haven't been to Canyon de Chelley--that would be a 'must see' next time I go to Arizona. And with your input, I would be sure to schedule in October since I love autumn colors best.

Absolutely beautiful.
Thanks, blacks2--so much easier to come up with nice images when there's such great material to work with, yes?

To see some other wonderful monument valley photos, google Rebecca Ortega and check out her work. She is a very talented photographer who Is Native American. I had the privilege of meeting her and seeing some of her images at the Indian Market sponsored by the Heard Museum in Phoenix about 5 or 7 years ago.

First, I LOVE your pictures. Second, I was also there in Apr 2016 and may have been standing nearby. I was wearing a blue shirt. Do you remember me? But seriously, Monument Valley is one of the most memorable trips I've ever taken, for the awesome formations and the spiritual feelings.

From a trip in April 2016. I have been making adjustments on my monitor settings trying to correct some issues with brightness and white balance. I knew there were a lot of trips where the images were looking too dark and dull when shared to public media, so decided to re-work the edits. Monument Valley was one of the posts that suffered most from those problems so I am sharing the new and improved (I hope) version for your consideration. Hope you enjoy.
All were surpurb especially the moon,sunset and the tree framing the arch👍👍👍🤗🤗😂
