Four Corners Get-away

In October 2003, Warren and I spent a long weekend exploring the Four Corners area, spending a day hiking Monument Valley...


...a day hiking in Natural Bridges National Monument and nearby Butler Wash...

 

 ...and a day hiking the rim of Canyon de Chelly, home of centuries old cliff dwellings.



 En route between Natural Bridges and Canyon de Chelly, we checked out Valley of the Gods State Park, a 'little Monument Valley.' Anywhere else in the world this would be a major attraction, but such are the riches of the Four Corners area that here it is merely a BLM-administered area.
