En route between Natural Bridges and Canyon de Chelly, we checked out
Valley of the Gods State Park, a 'little Monument Valley.' Anywhere

Northern Arizona Adventures
In September 2003, Warren and I spent yet another
weekend in Flagstaff, hiking from Locket Meadow to "the Inner

It's an interesting place to visit, but not necessarily a place to visit twice (unless you are a nice guy like Warren, and your wife hasn't been there yet).
