“It’s Beautiful Out!!” “Then leave it out!” That’s my father-in-law’s, James Best (www.jamesbest.com), standard response whenever I mention a beautiful day!
When you see a view like this, you expect to see John Wayne. Well, we left him back in Moab at Red Cliffs Lodge:
Monument Valley, AZ is actually a Navajo reservation. It’s considered sacred ground and there’s only one hike you can take without a Navajo guide.
So, we took the wildcat trail which circumnavigates the “West Mitten.”
And here’s a picture of the west mitten with the east mitten just to its right:
Here’s the “Three Sisters.”
And here’s the “Totem Pole.” The other things to the left have a name, too, but I can’t remember….
Monument Valley is worth a stop if you’re visiting the Grand Canyon. A Navajo jeep tour will show you all the amazing features in about 2 hours and there’s really no place quite like it. It was nice to have my hiking partner along for the trek!
