This is Monument Valley. The teepee is located near a roadside stand where the Navajos sell jewelry. It provides protection from the sun and fierce wind at breaktime. It was desserted the day we drove through, but I thought it made a nice photo.
There is a new hotel facing this view. The hotel is just okay, but the view is amazing. You can see some cars on the dirt road in the bottom photo. It's a loop road that you can take on your own. The temperature was comfortable in April, but it gets beastly hot in the summer.
Spectacular.....you sure know you have left the East coast!

Looks fabulous
ReplyDeleteWe drove through with a Navajo guide and she told us that each of the monuments has a name. Those two look like mittens.
ReplyDeleteWent through monument valley as a child, but haven't been back. I definitely need to take my kids there.
ReplyDeleteThat is a beautiful view.

We were there a couple of years ago. Had reservations in the local Holiday Inn but they fell through and we had to search for a hotel. Found a wonderful one with spectacular views of the valley. Soooo much better than old Holiday Inn!
ReplyDeletewe bought jewelry from Navajo people, and still wear it!
