Big Rocks

And what BIG rocks they are! We began in Monument Valley where the scale is so grand that it's clear why the valley has been a sacred spot to the Navajo for so long. We spent 2 days there first walking the Wildcat Loop Trail around one of the Mittens/Buttes then walking, yes WALKING, the loop portion of the 17-mile drive. THAT was truly amazing and gave me a kind of kinship with the place. Going in the off-season, there were only 6 or so cars to pass us the entire day. Another benefit of off-season is to get the PRIME camping spot. This one happened to be at #25 with THE picture postcard view of the valley (check out the pics to see). Next stop for rocks was Natural Bridges, then up to Canyonlands Utah for a few VERY fun days hiking around, over, across + through crazy rock formations. They're almost like flypaper so you can't even BELIEVE the surfaces you can cover! Can't wait to see what's next!
