Wind-blown sand partially obscures Merrick Butte, right, and one of the easily-recognizable Mittens at the Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park in southern Utah, Friday, March 10, 2006. The stunning vistas in the park, stars in many John Ford westerns, are an often-forgotten destination for American travelers. (Kevin Moloney for the New York Times)
