Monument Valley Utah

Last night we sat outside on picnic chairs watching the sunset and then the stars came out in the darkness. It was still warm.

We ate our breakfast outside too.

The town of Bluff says established 650AD

I don’t know how they prove that! 

So now we headed to monument valley.

East mitten, west mitten, each of the buttes has a different name. 

We photographed the iconic view where Forest Gump stopped his long run, a few more views and then went to the park entrance.

There is a visitor centre with lots of lovely gifts and a great viewing platform 

We decided to drive part of the dirt track along by the buttes but stopped by the first viewing park. The road was very very bumpy and dusty 

Hope you like the pics we got here….

We returned to Bluff for lunch by 2.30pm

87*f and very pleasant.

There is a Navajo run community restaurant and craft shop here called two towers. It sells delicious food with Indian corn bread. We stopped there for a sandwich. In true USA style it was 3 layered with meats and salad and fries. I had to take a doggie bag🤣

We went to explore Goosenecks state park. It has huge meanders 4000 feet down from the rim. We couldn’t believe what we were seeing! The sun was fierce in our eyes so the direction was bad for photos. We are going to return there tomorrow morning.

It was so funny a biker from Ohio got talking to us. He said yesterday he met a British guy called Ben (he didn’t know his surname )but he was travelling USA for 6 months and had just flown his wife into Las Vegas for a week to see her sent her home and continued his travels. Next question “ do you know him” 🤣🤣🤣🤪

So once again I’m sitting outside in the warm doing my blog and sorting my photos. Xxxx
