I am at a loss for words to describe Monument Valley. It is called Monument Valley because it is MONUMENTAL!!! Large portions of the road are terrible and Andy cussed and fussed whenever we got to a bad spot. I had a blast driving through. Though he swayed back and forth, rattled our teeth, and seemed to be shaking apart, Scamp seems to have made it through unscathed. I have gone overboard with pictures on this post.








This one is just an everyday huge boulder alongside the road.













































Sorry, my pictures simply do not sufficiently show the enormous size of these rocks.
Many movies were filmed in Monument Valley and there is a museum for John Wayne’s. Here is one of many links:

Yes, I read about the movies made there and how they shaped America’s idea of what the west looked like. I also saw a billboard about visiting John Wayne’s cabin but did not go there.

I imagine it is impossible to do justice to the grandeur of these magnificent structures that have taken millennia to weather and crumble. Fantastic pictures non the less!

I look at the pictures and the rocks just don’t look as big as they do in real life. They were marvelous though!
