Four Corners – vacation #2

Next up we stopped at Navaho National Monument which is also on route to Monument Valley. We stopped at the visitor center, walked the trails, and admired the canyons.

Wow, our guide Marie wasn’t kidding when her stories included info about the three-toed Jurassic reptiles!

The walk along the trails was lovely, albeit hot.

This is a sweathouse which serves as an “ancient solution to the problem of keeping clean in a land where water is scarce.”


We climbed in and looked around. It wasn’t until we left that we saw a sign that had fallen face down saying not to enter. There was no one around to apologize to, as we certainly meant no disrespect. It was, however, interesting to see the inside.





We enjoyed the park. Once we got on the road, the landscape began changing and we were finally heading into Monument Valley territory!
