As we made our way toward Monument Valley, we passed some "overachievers" trying to ride their bikes through the desert (heat). I gave them a toot from my air conditioned ride as we went by. Hope they got where they were going - No camelback would hold enough water for me to do that ride.
Monument Valley is home to many a movie set. It is a pretty awesome setting, but get out your billfold. This is stop #2 on Indian Reservation land and Thou Shalt Not Pass without paying homage to the landowners. I don't remember the cost.
We started to self-drive the dirt road that you are allowed on without the paid tour guide and turned around. The paid tour is probably worth it to hear the stories and history of the land, the monuments, the beliefs, etc. Otherwise, it is just some cool rocks. So, we did a 180 and headed for the Grand Canyon.
