I was travelling to NM on biz and saw that Monument Valley was only a 4 hour drive from where I was working. Decided I’d get there early and spend at least a day in Monument Valley.

Now a 4 hour drive through the Southwest is not like a horrific 4 hour drive from NJ to Long Island in traffic or heading back to north Jersey from the Jersey shore on a holiday weekend. It is a drive with one fantastic vista after the other. Even when there aren’t magnificent rock formations and mountains, there is the austere beauty and restrained palette of the desert.

Anyway, so worth the long drive to and from. I did get a speeding ticket from a tribal police officer…still worth it!!
