Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park

We went on a jeep tour with Navajo guide called "Geronimo" by his friends.

Some favorite rock formations.
And petroglyphs. The males, according to our guide, have 5 legs in the drawings.

The tough climb to the top is worth the view!

Mimi under the arch.


One can even get their picture taken while on a horse. $2.00. We met many tourists from England, Japan, Germany -- all were intrigued by the wide-open emptiness.

Navigators beware, open range, livestock roam everywhere and return in evening to water at corral. All water is trucked to dwellings, corrals, and other use areas.

The old Oljato Trading Post, last operated in the 1950s. With better roads and pickups replacing wagons, larger towns got closer.
