Today we drove from Moab to Scottsdale via this beautiful landmark called Monument Valley on the Navajo reservation in Northern Arizona.
We headed south out of Moab on nice two lane highways. In Blanding, UT before lunch we found this interesting work of art in progress.
We had sun all day, freezing temps in the morning with a little bit of fresh snow in the road at higher elevations and then finally low 70’s in the afternoon when we arrived in Scottsdale.
I’ve been in this beautiful spot a handful of times over the last 10 years or so but it never ceases to awe me. And I usually end up thinking of an old John Ford Western (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=RBHYJm775DQ), Easy Rider (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=QMy3AbpkYvw) or the iconic Forest Gump scene when Forest decides to quit runnning and go home (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=pKKmzmeU5-0 ). I think the dude in the middle of the highway is trying to recreate that moment. I love the wide open spaces of the American West.
