The drive was far more scenic that either of us expected. It is a ‘National Scenic Byway’ and also described as the ‘Trail of the Ancients’. Along the way there were many awesome views and more amazing was that with each passing hour the landscape changed dramatically.
Have a look. First off we drove past the Mexican Hat at Monument Valley, which at a certain angle does look like a mexican in a hat. (See below). Then we drove through the flat pancake desert, called the Valley of the Gods.
As we neared the top we realised why it got its name. We got out and saw this AMAZING landscape below, you could just envision ancient pueblo peoples building homes in the cliff face and ancient animals drinking at long dried up watering holes. I wanted to share this moment with you.
