A few years ago had the pleasure of visiting much of southern Utah. Vistas that can't be topped until you get to the next one. One of the highlights for me was sunrise in Monument Valley.....

Here are a couple of mine from 2015 when our HOG Chapter did an overnighter to Monument Valley.




Wonder how many thousands of pictures have been taken of these awesome formations

Hey Jim- tell us about the overnighter.

I sometimes stay at the San Juan inn in Mexican Hat- allows to take in a sunset and a sunrise.

I have not been to the View Hotel


there are alway sidenotes-
often the route to Monument Valley will take you past the Navajo Code Talkers Museum.
An opportunity to give Thanks.


Mike

Thanks for posting the pictures of the Moki Dugway, I have not been there yet, but it is definitely on the list.

My favorite to date is the Bryce and Escalante area in Utah.

OK,

I'd Suggest for many the Grand Canyon from West to East- maybe Code talkers & plan for Monument Valley later in the day- the colour on the rocks.
( gas in Cameron, Tuba or Kayenta)

I stay at the San Juan Inn, right on the river- the rest. closes at 8 usually- so make sure you eat. Rooms usually $60 depending on season- ask Marc for a discount. Get gas in town too

From Mexican Hat- North up the Moki and my first pic is the Bear's Ears...you can go to Natural Bridges ( the arches on the UT plate) then go East and then South to 4 corners.

from there Cortez CO is a nice stop
( depending from there the trip into CO is nice, or South into AZ and Canyon De Chelly...there is a road which runs arrow straight S to Winslow- this is where sometimes you'll see 200 mph supercars testing their mettle)

This is a full but not hard day with plenty of time to stop- most roads allow an easy 65 MPH

Much of this is on Navajo Land- be cool.
Do watch your speed.
And sometimes the Reservation is on a different time zone...but we use the sun to tell time.

Mike

I love Canyon Country, coming over each horizon is breath taking.
