Trip to Monument Valley

Basically, the first attraction on this road is the view of the rock castle – Agathla Peak (2,164 m above sea level), which looks really very invincible. This peak is of volcanic origin and lies about a kilometer from the road.

In the case of isolated buildings in the desert, one only wonders how one lives here at all?

The road runs in a straight line 20 kilometers away and finally rock monuments appear.

The first monument that is beautifully visible up close from the main road is Mitchell Butte.

Admission is charged to the center of Monument Valley – beware of the national park card, as the whole area is in the Navajo Indians.

Probably the most famous peak here is the West Mitten Butte.

If you have more time, it is definitely worth devoting at least a day to the local region. You can get far into the interior of these interesting mountains on gravel paths.

The view is amazing, but the huge hotel and the hustle and bustle behind you reduces the romance a bit. AND

From Monument Valley, you can continue north to Utah for other beautiful parks, such as the Goosenecks.
