Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park

Scott grew up watching Westerns (and took a class on John Wayne in college) so Monument Valley was a must stop for us on this trip.

The Wildcat Trail was my favorite hike on the trip. It wasn't strenuous or particularly challenging (it took us 1.5 hours at a slow pace), and there was no grand viewpoint vista at the end, but my gosh …
