Description
First light over Monument Valley from atop Hunts Mesa
.....
Hunts Mesa is a rock formation located in Monument Valley, just south of the border between Utah and Arizona in the United States and just west of the border between Arizona's Navajo County and Apache County. It is one of two popular interior destinations in the Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park for tourists to experience panoramic views of the popular sandstone formations from a distance. The other is Mystery Valley. A Navajo guide is required to hike to either.
Hunts Mesa forms the southeastern edge of Monument Valley and the northern edge of Little Capitan Valley. Its elevation is 6,365 feet above sea level. Access to Hunts Mesa is not through the general entrance of the park but rather through the sand dunes northeast of the town of Kayenta, Arizona.
On October 16, 1984, an United States Air Force B-52 bomber collided with Hunts Mesa and crashed, killing two of the seven crewmen.
.....
Monument Valley (Navajo: Tse Biiʼ Ndzisgaii, meaning valley of the rocks) is a region of the Colorado Plateau characterized by a cluster of vast sandstone buttes, the largest reaching 1,000 ft (300 m) above the valley floor. It is located on the Arizona-Utah state line, near the Four Corners area. The valley lies within the range of the Navajo Nation Reservation, and is accessible from U.S. Highway 163.
Director John Ford used the location for a number of his best known films, and thus, in the words of critic Keith Phipps, "its five square miles have defined what decades of moviegoers think of when they imagine the American West.

Thank you, Robert, Tim, Larry & Sharon. This was a place I've been wanting to visit for many years. Finally went there with an old Navajo guide and his two nephews. They cooked a good campfire dinner for us the evening before, and what a sight it was to wake up to :-)
