Friday 25th May was spent at Monument Valley. In the morning, 5.30am, we witnessed a spectacular sunrise from our balconies at the wonderful hotel, The View.

After breakfast we did the Wildcat walk around the West Mitten Butte, spectacular.

Will Cowboy, a native and local Navajo took us on a sunset drive around the valley. Like a classic movie star, Monument Valley has a face known around the world. Her fiery red spindles, sheer walled mesas and grand buttes have starred in films and commercials and have been featured in magazine ads and picture books.

This great valley is spellbinding. The landscape overwhelms, not just by its beauty, but also by its size. Monument Valley's epic beauty is heightened by the drab landscape surrounding it. One minute you're in the middle of sand, rocks and infinite sky, then suddenly you're transported to a fantasyland of crimson sandstone towers.

The fragile pinnacles of the rock are surrounded by miles of mesas and buttes, shrubs, trees, and windblown sand all comprising the magnificent colors of the valley.
