Monument Valley, Utah


Monument Valley, Utah, originally uploaded by rob-gizzy.

Our next door neighbor at the motel was kind enough to make sure we had an early start by switching on the TV at 6 am! After a hearty breakfast at a typical all-American diner (pancakes, bacon & eggs), we set off for our journey to the Four Corners. This is the only place in the US where 4 states come together - Arizona, New Mexico, Utah & Colorado. We then entered Utah and drove through the magnificent Monument Valley. Almost everyone has seen the scenery in some Western flick - but the reality is really impressive. We didn't have the blue skies we were hoping for but there was enough sun for us to capture the buttes in all their glory. Next stop: The Grand Canyon.
