Monument Valley Sunset

One Saturday Rachael and I drove up to Tuba City, Arizona with our host mother for her eight hour rug weaving class at the Dine College. Afterwards, we decided to drive the extra hour and go up to watch the sun set at Monument Valley and eat some fry bread from the local vendors since we had driven so far North already. These landforms speak to the grand and majestic beauty of Navajo land.

These are the mittens - right and left hands

There are a lot of bikers out West

Sun setting lower and lower on the horizon

Road down below; if we had arrived to the park sooner we would have driven down there

Ilene, my Navajo mother, and me

Looking to the West direction

Mountains in the distance and RV campground

Mesas and land formations where old John Wayne movies were filmed

These are a few of the sacred and beautiful places on Dine Bikeyah (Navajo country).
