MONUMENT VALLEY

Up early and on the road to Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park.
There were things along the road to see as well like these things.
A hundred years ago men would be riding horses through this area. I’m in a white Jeep.
Still on the road.
The flags of two nations (United States and Navajo) and two states (Arizona and Utah).
Just think how many movies and television shows have used this as a backdrop.
Merrick Butte, named after, well, some guy named Merrick.
I'm not sure how they name these things. This one is Camel Butte. Does it look anything like a camel to you?
One of the big ones on the trail is Rain God Mesa. Mesas are larger than buttes. Did they bully the buttes when they were in school?
It's called The Hub. Looks somewhat hublike.
The Totem Pole and Yei Bi Chei.
Sand Spring dunes.
This one is aptly named The Cube.
The view from Artist Point Overlook. Seriously beautiful. Can't you just picture John Wayne riding across the screen?
I wanted a picture of the Jeep Liberty rental in front of some westerny stuff. The formation on the left is called The Thumb.
The Three Sisters and John Ford's Point. He used this area in a lot of his westerns.
It is all dirt roads throughout the park. Bumpy dirt roads.
The View Hotel. Imagine the view out the windows of these rooms.
I guess I kicked up a lot of orange dirt.
