FUN-travel: Mesmerizing Monument Valley, UT
June 18, 2018 by Susan Clarke
- Iconic symbol of the American West…
…& sacred heart of the Navajo Nation…
…isolated deep red mesas and buttes…
…surrounded by empty…
…orange sandy desert.
- 17 mile dirt road…
…criss-crosses through sculpted rock formations…
…soaring 400 to 1,000 feet above the valley floor.
- Ancestral spirits infuse the rugged…
…disruptive landscape that feels foreign.
- Our full moon…
…at the end our trip…
…was another portentous sign…
…like our full rainbow in Jackson Hole.
Sunset Serendipity Surprise…
…left the room…
…to see the sunset…
…and was blown away…
…by what I found…
…the chanting…
…dancing
…and meditative music…
…made for a truly memorable night!
FUN-fact – The majestic Monument Valley landscape has been the backdrop for more than sixteen movies.
