Monument Valley

I'm a big time Western Movie fan, so knowing we were going to Monument Valley was the best thing ever ... and seeing it in person was just like the movies only in color. Pictures just can't do justice. While looking at all the formations I started thinking that if Earth is still here many formations will either be gone or drastically changed. There is a rock slides every day some where and previous slides are quite obvious.

The drive through Monument Valley is gravel, and can be quite bumpy in areas, so empty your bladder before you start.

We camped across the highway at Gouldings Campground. There is a museum there which is housed inside the original building of the Gouldings Trading Post

Behind the museum was the building used in the film "She Wore A Yellow Rose" starring John Wayne.



I will upload more pictures to Picasa and share the link when ready.
