Monument Valley

Well I've lost all track of day and time and where I happen to be at the moment but Boy What A Ride!!!
We arrived in Kayenta last night and were supposed to go on to Monument Valley but it was raining and not at all feasible. So it was decided to get up early and start out to catch sunrise in Monument Valley and it happened. We were on the road at 7:30 and when we arrived the jeeps were waiting to take us out into the valley. We saw the wonderful formations close up and on the return Stopped at t picnic area and had fry bread topped with beans lettuce onions tomatoes and black olives. What a delightful way to enjoy this wondrous place.
From our hotel room we had a view of this monolith which only wetted our appetite for the next day.

Hopi huts at the entrance.


Boarding the jeeps to go to the valley.


The Three Sisters.


Sunrise in Monument Valley


The camel Mesa


On departure we drove up the road aways and pictures were taken of the group riding from a distance. Then we headed for Bryce Canyon and on the way went back to Kayenta and over the Glen Canyon Dam and past Lake Powell. Arriving at our hotel in Bryce Canyon in the pouring rain again.
