Fort Jefferson is a six-sided structure constructed of 16 million handmade red bricks. It was built in the early 1800's to help protect the southern coastline of the United States and commerce heading to and from the Mississippi. In 1888 the Army turned the fort over to the Marine Hospital Service to be operated as a quarantine station, and in 1935 it was designated a National Monument. It lies 70 miles west of Key West and is only accessible from seaplane or boat.

Monument Valley, a red-sand desert region on the Arizona-Utah border, is known for the towering sandstone buttes of Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park. The park, frequently a filming location for Western movies, is accessed by the looping, 17-mile Valley Drive. The famous, steeply sloped Mittens buttes can be viewed from the road or from overlooks such as John Ford’s Point. Click on a caption for more information.
