We arrived at Monument Valley in the late afternoon after a long day of driving. We were greeted with a scene you might recognize from the movie, Forrest Gump. My shot isn't an exact replica as, for some reason, they wouldn't block the road so I could stand in the middle and duplicate the shot from the movie. The sky was a bit bland so I added one with a little more drama.
Sunrise the next morning. Taken from our hotel balcony. Every room in the hotel has this view. |
Lori and I went for a morning hike around the mittens. That's the names of the buttes in the picture. Left Mitten and Right Mitten. I'll leave it to you to figure out the reason for the names. |
One more step to the right and it would have been a better composition. |
My tour guide pointing out the obvious. |
After the morning hike and lunch we were too late to take the drive through the valley so we spent the afternoon on our balcony reading and enjoying the afternoon scenery and a great sunset. |
One last shot from the morning hike. |
Next up, Day 2 of Monument Valley
