Monument Valley, UT

Left and Right Mitten as seen from Gouldings, Monument ValleyI know I’ve said this before, but, “WOW!” I didn’t really believe this place existed, but here it is! It is one of my top 5 favorite places and I have hundreds of photos to prove it.

Arch at Gouldings CampgroundWe found an arch hidden down the wash behind the campground and will take the wash the other direction tomorrow to see what views we’re missing. We love climbing around looking for snakes and scorpions; so far we’ve seen lizards.

Maya’s keen eyes spotted two shaggy mountain goats eating a newly planted tree in front of a new building down the MV Road.

Maya has found a friend who loves to swim, so we’ll probably be here for another day or two. (And there’s internet:-)
