Visiting Monument Valley with the Grandkids
I have a habit of revisiting fabulously gorgeous places. Some have a magnetic attraction that just keep me coming back.
Each fall I ferry Mom’s car to Arizona and then back to Michigan in the spring. When I can make the arrangements, I ask one of our grandkids to come along to keep me company and in turn share some wonderful sites with them.
The small town of Kayenta, AZ lies along the route between Phoenix and Michigan. A few miles north of the town along the Arizona/Utah border is Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park – a most unique and eye-popping location. There you will leisurely drive along the 17-mile dirt road to view a multitude of amazing cliffs, buttes and mesas.
These photos were taken at a spot with with either the iconic West Mitten Butte or Merrick Butte in the distance.

The photos are a great way for me to remember this magnificent area. Hopefully the grandkids will recall their visit in years to come.
