Traveling in the Navajo Nation

We recently spent the better part of a week traveling around the northern portion of Arizona visiting Monument Valley, Valley of the Gods, Lees Ferry, Marble Canyon, and the area know as the Arizona Strip which includes the North Rim of the Grand Canyon.

We stayed at the View Hotel while in Monument Valley and the Marble Canyon Lodge in Marble Canyon.

We drove the 17 mile loop through Monument Valley several times during our stay as well as the 17 mile road going through Valley of the Gods which is located less than an hour's drive from Monument Valley. We also drove Buffalo Ranch Road to an area that overlooks a portion of the Grand Canyon without actually entering the park.

We have a few stories and lots of images to share however this will be a teaser with future updates planned over the next couple days so stay tuned.





As we said these are just teasers so stay tuned for more updates coming soon.

  2. Hi! This wouldn't be the nice couple from NY that brought us dinner? If so be on the look-out for the disk full of images...

  3. Hi Sandy and Don! This happens to be Lea and Chris from NY, the couple you met so many years ago and were able to help rescue some photos for us. It just so happens we are on a road trip at the moment somewhere in Maryland. We were talking about divine providence and how nothing is coincidence, only God's plan and grace. We told our 11 and 13 year old son and daughter about how meeting you in the middle of no where was an example of this. We pray you are both well, and know we still think of you gratefully every so often, even while it being so many years later. Thanks again!
