October 29. 2011 – Monument Valley

We started our day by watching a BEAUTIFUL sunrise:

We then headed out to see Goulding's area.   Harry Goulding is most noted for introducing John Ford (director) to the Monument Valley area where many movies have been made.

His area consists of a “mini-town” amongst the rocks – gas stations, groceries, lodge, trading post, campground, museum.  We drove around the area and stopped at the museum.

The original trading post – now a museum:

  

My heroes -
