Gouldings Lodge and RV Park Monument Valley, Utah

Our first order of business today was to go to Cortez and shop for supplies, post the blog, and Tim needed a haircut. Did you know that you could get a haircut at Walmart? That is one of the very hard things about this gypsy life we lead…where do you go to get your hair done? We tried in the last two towns and there definitely was nothing for me. We will have to wait until we stay somewhere for awhile so that I can schedule something!

After Cortez, there were big expanses of open terrain, rocky and desert like. We were down to 5,000 feet of elevation!

Route 160 is NOT a designated scenic route…but what a pretty ride.

We had to stop at Four Corners Monument. This is the only place in the United States where you can stand in four states at the same time. This monument is on Navajo tribal land. Vendors had all kind of jewelry and other trinkets for sale.

The remainder of our ride was a series of incredible views. The monoliths and buttes rise up out of the earth and surprise you as you pass by.

The view from our campsite this evening.
