Monument Valley, Utah

Monument Valley is a place I've always wanted to see. It's an area that you've probably seen in a western movie at one time or another. It's located on Navajo Indian land on the border between Utah and Arizona, off of Highway 163.

I was with Mom and Cathy still, and we drove through a little town called Mexican Hat, getting it's name from this rock formation nearby:





After that, we were very close to Monument Valley. The scenery on the way was really incredible...lots of colors and buttes and rock formations that boggled the mind.





Below is a good look at Monument Valley from a distance:





We drove up to the visitor's center, passing many beautiful rock formations. A couple more pics here:




Looks like a pair of hands praying
