The Navajo Nations call this area Tse-Bii-Ndzisgalit (the valley within the rock.) Monument Valley extends into Arizona and Utah and covers about 91,696 acres. The height of the monuments range from 100 feet to 1,500 feet tall. And there sure are a lot of them!
Today, in the comfort of the air conditioned jeep the gang drove the 17 mile Navajo Valley Trail. You had to pay the Tribe for the pleasure. Of course, it goes without saying no doggies participated in this adventure. The temperature today was over 100 degrees and there wasn't a breeze to be felt any where. Better to stay home and look at the pictures.It was a spectacular 3 hour drive with pull outs for picture taking and jewelry shopping all along the way. There were so many wonderful sights that it's hard to decide which pictures to show you. Monument Valley is one of the most beautiful places we have ever seen.
