Since this was a long trip, we took off at about 7:45 this morning. It was a great scenic drive....
Manuel's GI Buddy, Ed had recommended this park when we visited him earlier on this trip...
As we drive through this area, we are just amazed with the beautiful formations...
The town of Mexican Hat is very small but the scenery that surrounds it is just beautiful. Just look at the mountains....
Crossing the San Juan River at the small town, Mexican Hat.
Finally we see the Mexican Hat Rock....very neat.
The San Juan Mountains are really different....
We are almost at the Monument Valley which is where many Hollywood movies were made. John Wayne made many movies here. Parts of movies filmed here were Thelma and Louise, Forrest Gump and many more. We can see why filming takes place here.
This was a long road leading to the park but with very awesome sights...
Cattle, horses, sheep, lamb and goats roam freely in this area, as you can see...
More to come.....
