Monument Valley. This is really a place you have to see before you die. It is really a magical place. To me this is the how the Old Wild West looks into my mind. When you are here, you really feel you are in a movie. Probably because so many movies had been shot here. The best Ford's and Leone's classical western movies . And not only the old western movies. 2001: A Space Odissey. Easy Rider. Back to the Future III. Thelma & Louise. Forrest Gump. And more and more.The Valley is absolutely unique and it is in a Navajo reservation, just on the border between Arizona and Utah. And this is the sunset when we got there. The buttes, here are called Mittens ...
Really amazing the sunset here. But after more than 24 hours of driving and walking, we were just good for sleeping, so we camp there, in the Navajo reservation. Here is where we took the only proper shower in the entire trip ...
... and no, neither the indians nor the 7th Cavalry did attack us while we were asleep ... :O ... so the day after we went to visit more of the Valley. We started with this moment of daily life of the native Americans ...
... and we continued driving the 17 miles drive. Wonderful drive. You really feel something magical, walking through these stones. Like if some G-D put them there for some reason ...
... and these are the last pictures while we are leaving the Valley...
At that point we were headed north. Next stop will be Arches National Park. An other amazing National park was waiting for us. And we were without camp site reservation. So we had to hit the gas.
