Hey, Them’s Some Big Rocks

Hey did you know, there’s this nifty place called Monument Valley along the Arizona/Utah border? We’d heard of it, vaguely, but didn’t think much about it until the landscape started to get interesting and road signs popped up. It was only about 20 miles out of the way (one way) so we decided to go for it.

It was definitely worth the 11 mile bone jarring, unpaved ride through the area. Essentially, the formations are a soft sandstone capped by a harder rock that slows down the erosion of the sandstone.
