Utah Rocks (and more rocks)

Monument Valley in the rain

Straddling the corner of Utah and Arizona, Monument Valley lies mostly within the Navajo Nation. The scenery has become iconic thanks to John Ford's westerns and Ansel Adam's photos of the area. The day we visited the valley it was raining sporadically, and the classic reds and golds had become muted, the azure skies dramatic shades of grey. So here is a view not many see of Monument Valley, as it rains only a few times a year.
