Monument valley – red on blue or place where Westerns are removed Part 3

To ride on one Scenic Drive you need at least 1.5-2 hours, but it is generally practically stopped. Andriusix, for example, ride almost four hours, catching every view-pit and paint. After agreed in the opinion that they would be happy and spent more time in the valley, but we will overtake us, and I had to go to look for accommodation.

If you are going to walk in Vaildket Trail, then lay back from 1.5 to 2 hours. And so on, depending on what plans (riding, organized tours and t.D.).

Chesky all the monument valley looks at dawn and in «Gold watch» Before sunset, so try to get here at this time.

Park Score

nine from ten. Very bright and memorable park, which, I’m sure, curious to see every tourist. I personally, he did not disappoint us at all and satisfied all the expectations.

Sights in the vicinity

In the vicinity of the park there are quite a few interesting places. Some require a targeted study, others can be viewed. For example:

• Gooseneck State Park (Gooseneck State Park)

• Mexican Hat (Mexican Hat)

• Valley Park of the Gods (Valley Of The Gods)

They say that this park is quite interesting. I do not know the details, but somewhere came to my eyes the statement that if you get into the local caves at a certain time of the day, you can see the effect of flaming walls. I think, besides this there there will be something else interesting.

Since they were heading towards Mesa Verde Park, seek the place for the night was decided in this direction. We looked at the internet camping in the state of goose necks in the park (Goosenecks State Park). There and headed.

Sheboldasik 21.01.2015

It would be nice that this reaction was transformed into food-food-foods))) True, with the current course of the dollar America in general, gold became.

When looking at these landscapes I immediately remembered the film "Gold Macken". It was very popular in the 70s of the last century in the USSR. I even have a special googled, but Wikipedia claims that the film was filmed in the national parks of Canyon de Shelley and Glen Canyon. Although it seems to me some scenes were filmed in Mesa Verde, which you wrote about in the next article.

You can question: With what parameters falling stars?

I remember this film I was very impressed. Here is truly wild west. I fully admit that there are scenes and from Glen Canyon, but in Qiacone de Shelley were not.

About housing – gives me, they can be found a lot where. We somehow spent a few nights in a nameless campsite near the park Capitol Reef, so there I also found such a dwelling when I went to collect firewood. A small completely, but very similar to what was seen in Mesa Verde.

Stars in the photo are not particularly falling, rather rotating. Exposure of about 10 minutes – left the camera and went dinner to cook;) There, on the left, just the moon went.
