2013 Spring Vacation – Monument Valley
One of the most dramatic and iconic views in the southwest is that of Monument Valley Tribal Park. On previous trips we have stopped and viewed the monolithic formation from the viewing area, however for a change and with time available we chose to drive through the valley.
Driving Highway 163 south from Bluff, Utah Monument valley dominates the horizon. I am not sure of the exact count of towers but the number must be high.
To enter the park we turned east off 163 and paid our entrance fee. We first enjoyed the museum and store where they sell many authentic Navajo arts. Leaving the museum we took about 2 hours to drive the valley road. I recommend a vehicle that is at least high clearance 2 wheel drive. I’ll let the photos speak for the views.
