October 28, 2011 Part 2 – Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park

Here we are in the campground at Monument Valley.

The view from my door:

The campground in the distance:

We are the motorhome on the left:

We took a tour of the museum and gift shop.  The museum had quite interesting information on the start of the Tribal Park, Navajo Code Talkers and artist exhibits.  This I found really interesting:

There is a 17 miles dirt loop road that takes you down to the valley floor.  We only did 4 miles of it today – will do the whole loop tomorrow.    All I can saw is WOW:

 

These are called “The Mittens”:

My most favorite picture of the day:

Back at the RV, we brought our chairs to the edge of the campground, watched the sunset with all the changing colors – OH MY!

We are so blessed!
