Travel Guide

So I drove through the night, to get here before sunrise. Unfortunately the trail is closed until the visitor center is open, which was after sunrise. I was able to race down the trail and see why some 120-200 Navajo called this home at one point. It is perfectly placed to get shade through morning and a spring is nearby.

These trees were so contrasted with the red and gold cliffs and ground all around.

As I walked back up the path saw this dead tree. Even though I was only a mile or so away from the actual ruins, I could not imagine walking to and from that every day. It is thousands of feet in elevation gain/loss getting to the bottom of this canyon.

Loved that we were so close to the entrance of Monument Valley Scenic drive. Loved the location, the view from our balcony. Our meal at the restaurant was great! And so fun to watch a John Wayne movie on-site. Thx for a great stay!!

Rooms were nice, but sound from the next room was loud and clear enough to have been coming from our own room. Also, did not appreciate that a time share sales pitch was part of the check in process.
