| There’s no other place like Monument Valley on earth. It’s like landing on a red moon!!
I don’t really know what I expected, but my first sighting of it was a feeling I will never forget. As we approached Monument Pass on highway 163 we stopped the car several times to take pictures. We never could truly capture the awe we felt.
There is only one main road through Monument Valley. The stretch approaching the Arizona/Utah border from the north gives the most famous image of the valley, a long straight empty road across flat desert heading toward huge stark red cliffs on the horizon. The highway cuts through the mesas at Monument Pass. |
