Monument Valley
Kerry and I just returned from a 4 day road trip. We left Thursday morning and headed towards the northeastern part of the state. Our plan was to visit Canyon de Chelly and Monument Valley, then head up through Utah, Colorado, and New Mexico.
The canyon was absolutely beautiful and we were able to capture some late day photographs that really made the colors stand out. Having lived in Arizona all my life, I was surprised to discover that Canyon de Chelly has been inhabited by various tribes since 3000 BC!
After staying the night, we departed for Monument Valley in the morning and were able to make it by lunch. We made the 18 mile loop through the park and got a few good pictures although it was mid-day so the light wasn’t right. The next 2 days were spent galavanting through Utah and New Mexico. We spent the last night in Springerville before making our way home. It was a great trip but Kerry and I agreed that we drove too much and saw too little.
