Monument
East Mitten
We arrived just in time for the sunset lights on Monument Valley. These high columns and large tables, some of them so familiar for appearing in countless movies, were glowing red in the last rays of the sun.
We spent the night there, contemplating a moonrise behind the Mittens, and waking up for the sunrise. We wanted to start hiking in the Grand Canyon later in the afternoon, and still had a long road to go.
After about 12 hours in a valley sized for giants, we were off for about 400 km more of beautiful road, going South West inside the State of Arizona, all the way to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon.
