As the efficient and productive people we are, we managed to visit one more spot after our day in Antelope Canyon and Horseshoe Bend. For some reason, we thought it’d be cool if we drove across the boarder into Utah. An hour into driving, we noticed our phones had jumped an hour ahead because we had entered a different timezone. (Wtf?!! That was the first time I ever crossed timezones on land!) We continued to speed towards the valley as the sun began to set. We watched as the sunlight softened and transformed the land into a warm field of gold. Ahh I still can’t get over how beautiful that sight was.

Monument Valley – I am at a lost of words. We had to pay ($20 I think?) to get into the park but it was so worth it. I sat on the same spot for an hour just staring at the stone statues against a changing backdrop. I’ve always found peace and joy in sunsets, but the sunsets in Utah are extra soothing. I’ll just let my photos do the talking:

I really wish we could have spent the night at Monument Valley, but our schedule didn’t give us the liberty of time. But no regrets, because I am definitely coming back here soon in the future.
