Immortalised in films for decades, Monument Valley was the main inspiration for our trip in 2016.
The view from Highway 163 heading south |
Back to the Future III |
Heading south on Highway 163, you are afforded the amazing view (top picture) and (avoiding cars) are able to re-create the iconic scene in Forrest Gump when Forrest comes to the end of his epic run across America. There is even a shrine to Forrest by the side of the road.
Once inside the park you can drive around in your own vehicle. A word of warning though. It is on a Navajo reservation and is not paved. You should drive very slowly and carefully. Even though we had a few bumps we were ok in our rental. The views are amazing too.
Footnote:
Summer 2016 saw four of us embark on a trip of a lifetime across Nevada, California, Utah & Arizona taking in;
Las Vegas - The Grand Canyon - Death Valley - Zion NP - National Monument; Bryce Canyon NP - Arches NP - Monument Valley - Grand Canyon (again) and London Bridge (Lake Havasu).
