Cruise to Cruise Moab 2022

[Stepmurr]

Spent some extra vacay time exploring Monument Valley and Valley of the Gods on the way to Cruise Moab this year.

Dusty high winds on the Navajo Reservation heading north to Utah

Sand covered everything in the Land Cruiser

Camped first night at start of Butler Canyon near Bluff, Utah

Passing by Valley of the Gods heading south towards Mexican Hat

"The" Mexican Hat

Approaching Monument Valley near the Forest Gump site

Monument Valley from the "free" side

Greatest Outdoor Museum Indeed!

Getting into the $20 part of Monument Valley - well worth the cash to drive the 17 mile loop. Unfortunately the park campsites were closed again this year due to Covid so I had to camp in Valley of the Gods BLM land.

The West & East Mittens and Merrick

The Three Sisters

Entrepreneurs

Random rocks

Somebody ought to film a movie here . . .
