The second amazing place in a week where we were massively spoilt. I though Mesa Verde was good, Monument Valley is off the chart. On the way we stopped off at four corners, was in Colorado, Utah, New Mexico and Arizona all the same time - well worth $3....
We took a jeep tour around the but of Monument Valley you see if you whack it in google. Its crazy, the red-ness just doesn't seem real. All the colours are too vivid really. Theres a real vibe about the place. The views can't be equalled I don't think. After the tour we rocked up for some steak and 'Navajo tacos'. Awesome. After eating we climbed up high to watch the sunset then had some authentic dancing (it was for all I know anyway) to pass the evening. Got all involved like a real sociable person dancing round the fire - what an experience. A certain member of the group sat out the looking like a dick part - her loss man. Heard some stories, listened to some music - that was the good bit. The music definately has a kind of 'timeless' vibe to it. You're sat there in the dark, in a part of the world with no electricity or water, with a fire burning and no-one else in sight. Crazy.
Instead of putting up tents we put the sleeping mats out and slept under the stars. Absolutely no light pollution so you could see everything. Will take a lot to beat that experience.
Up early to catch the sunrise, again absolutely amazing.
