Hi all, I'm Lalla, from Italy.
I'm trying to find Grand Canyon and Monument Valley dems, but's very hard. Can you help me please?
Thank you.

For ready-to-use terrains BigBen's definitely the best source now that Timster's terrains seem to be offline for the most part. However for the best quality *source* data, that you will need to convert to your target format, the USGS has the biggest and most easily searched archive at: http://seamless.usgs.gov/

You can go to seamless.usgs.gov and get terrains and orthophotos, drg, and lots of other data.
