Monumental Arizona

Saturday, August 31 at 9:30 a.m.

Arizona is home to more national monuments than any other state, 18 remarkable destinations. “Monumental Arizona” combines spectacular high-definition images with an evocative musical score and engaging storytelling. Audiences will be enthralled by its dramatic aerial vantage point as cameras soar high above these striking landmarks, capturing their spectacular beauty and cultural legacy. 

Over the last century, Arizona’s people and America’s presidents have worked hand-in-hand to recognize and protect these natural treasures. Flying over and through these national monuments, viewers will marvel at the stunning landscapes, the fascinating geology and the stories of ancient civilizations. 

“Monumental Arizona’s” bird’s-eye perspective of these biologically and culturally rich sites offers breathtaking vistas, ranging from Chiricahua’s fantasy rock sculptures to Tuzigoot’s ancient fortress, Ironwood Forest and Canyon de Chelly’s famous red-stone gorge.
