Description Color photo showing the Setting Hen rock formation in Monument Valley, with Eagle Mesa to the left. "Sand laden winds and driving rain and the alternate freezing and thawing of the moisture that seeps into the crevices in the rocks are responsible fir the fantastically eroded formations that give Monument Valley its name. Among the most realistically carved images is the Setting Hen, along the road through Monument Pass of Utah State HIghway 47 between Mexican Hat and Goulding's Post"
