Gorgeous.
I’d been to Monument Valley before. But the Valley itself was closed for the (very cool) Red Bull Air Race: Photo by Timothy K. Hamilton
This time I did the only independent hike allowed in the Park, the Wildcat Trail (3.2mi). I had low expectations, but it turned out to be superb. I felt like a Mormon trailblazer.
At dusk I tried finding a mountain bike trail just outside the Park. That was a FAIL.
It’s amazing how all this flat desert is mostly impassable.
… moseying off in the general direction of the Grand Canyon.

Did you say a Moron Trailblazer?
Just kiddin’!
