Monument Valley - Arizona

I know I said we're in Utah - but Monument Valley is on the border.  The campground is in Utah - Monument Valley, 5 minutes down the road, Arizona.

For generations, the Navajo have grown crops and herded sheep in Monument Valley.

I don't know if these are sheep or goats ... or what???

Breath taking!!!!

The scenes may look familiar – many movies have been shot here – John Wayne - Stage Coach, Forrest Gump ... something with a yellow ribbon.

Elephant Butte - can you see the nose and two eyes and ears?????


Monument Valley Navajo Tribal park is 30,000 acres – wind and rain have carved the mammoth red sandstone monoliths into really cool formations. The monoliths rise hundreds of feet above the desert floor like sentinels, frozen in time – unchanged for centuries.

Tom looks awfully small.  He found just the rock for Santo.

This is a Navajo Taco - WOW
Joey would love it!!!!!

Chimichangaaaaaaaaaa!!!

It was a hole in the wall - from the outside you would never set foot inside.  But the inside was cute - nicely decorated and had funny books at the table to pass the time while waiting for your food which wasn't long - like how to know if you're a Geezer.  Homemade chips and salsa while you wait.

It was listed in the Fodor's Guide - excellent!!!!

Sunset - see the mittens????


Where will the road take us tomorrow????

Canyonlands ... Arches ... Mesa Verde ... Moab ....
