Driving into Monument Valley you really felt you were in God's country. The new hotel-The View (aptly named) was at the top of the lookout. Check out the videos and pictures. I know they do not do it justice but hopefully it will spur you to go and check it out. We jumped on our bikes. The weather was gorgeous and it was so surreal. I wish a movie crew was there filming us bombing down the hill. Leo where are you!!!
We found probably the most sustainable and off the grid house. It was down in the bottom of the canyon with no electricity or running water. What a rough view they had. The Navajo also know where to set up shop. At the 1/2 way point with the most incredible view is a strategically placed jewelry stand. Cheryl and Kelly-I think this would be the perfect spot to sell your artistry.
The bike ride was exhilarating and we constantly needed to pinch ourselves that it was for real. One of the most purely enjoyable things I have ever done, that was of course until we reached the big hill we had to climb to get out!!
No worries though, made it with no difficulties. Awarded ourselves with a PB&J sandwich and headed to Montrose. We took the back route through all the farm and ranch lands of southwestern Colorado and arrived in Montrose around 9:00 pm. It was beautiful country. (Route through Mexican Hat, Bluff Utah, saw the San Juan River, Norwood Colorado, Ridgeway Colorado into Montrose)
We arrived and were welcomed by Annika's parents and a good German Dinner!
