The eternal essence of Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park, Utah is one of my favorite places.

I’ve been there many times and have had several trips with Navajo guides into the restricted areas.

The view from the north as one approaches or leaves Monument Valley.

The Mittens overlook the land at sunrise.

A panoramic view of the monuments from Artist’s Point. The scenic drive is 17 rugged miles.

Erosion works its magic on the sandstone structures.

Imagine riding horseback through the park.

Sunrise is a spiritual time.

The view from the visitor center.

A timeless and outer worldly place.

My Navajo guide plays his flute in a natural amphitheatre.
