Monument Valley

Wait...can it be? Two posts in two days?

As promised, we're off to Monument Valley!

Monument Valley is one of those places that everyone recognizes once they see it...it's been photographed thousands of times and it's in countless movies. It's a Navajo tribal park that straddles the Arizona/Utah border. We didn't actually go into the park, because they charge quite a hefty entrance fee (plus we had already spent too much money on the entrance fee to Four Corners). Nevertheless, it's a beautiful area and one can appreciate the landscape just fine without having to go into the park itself.
A big, nasty thunderstorm was rolling in just as we arrived at the Valley, which made photographing the area that much more fun.
The first photo wasn't taken in Monument Valley, but about 25 miles south, near Kayenta, AZ.

Enjoy!
