Kanab to Valley of the Gods

Heading out in the morning we travel to Page where we fuel up and head east then north. Our route takes us through Monument Valley where there are many iconic scenes from movies shot here. The Navajo Tribal Lands are closed so we cannot go off the beaten path. We don’t even know if the highway that travels up Monument Valley is even open but we take our chances. It’s open and we enjoy the amazing view from our truck. One stop we make is where the scene from Forrest Gump where Forrest has been running for three years and has a pack of followers running behind him. He stops, turns around, and says, I guess I can stop now.

Further up the highway out of the Valley we stop for the night at a boondocking site in Valley of the Gods. Wells has been here before and saw several boondockers. Today we see none.

It’s a full moon tonight so Wells sets up to capture the moonrise from next to our trailer.
