Monument Valley was a real treat. You can drive yourself through the public part of the Navajo Park or you can get a private tour to the great sights. Frommer's recommended the Keyah Hozhoni tour guides. No question ... take the private tour. (http://www.monumentvalley.com/Pages/english_homepage.html). We had a Navajo guide, Roy, who told great stories and knew the perfect spots to take pictures. Monument Valley has been used as a backdrop to many Westerns. John Ford, the Director, used it for all of his. John Wayne spent most of his career here. Roy pointed out the spots where different scenes were filmed. The western chase scene from Back to the Future III was filmed here. We took over 100 pictures so it'll take a while to load them, but Monument Valley sure was beautiful.
Our overnight stop tonight is Grand Junction, Colorado. On the way from Monument Valley, we saw we passed Arches National Park. Since we had a few extra hours, we decided to stop. It was worthwhile as well. Lots of rocks ... over 2000 arches. If you pass through Moab, Utah, it's worth a visit (http://www.nps.gov/arch).
