Valley of the Gods and Four Corners

Before leaving Utah we drove through the Valley of the Gods. This area sits in the southeast corner of Utah, just north of Monument Valley in northern Arizona. The 18-mile road wound through a variety of unusual rock formations. A passing thunderstorm gave a dramatic backdrop to some of the photos.

As much as dave was against it, I convinced him we had to pay the $6 admission fee to stand at the four corners monument. At this site Utah, Colorado, Arizona and New Mexico all share a common state boundary. It is the only place this happens in the US. The $6 was necessary because the monument sits on the Navajo reservation lands. By the amount of traffic going through the site while we were there, it must provide the reservation with a fair amount of money.
