Despite the fact that I knew where I was headed on this roller coaster ride of a day, I never expected to bump into this!! That morning I was white knuckling the wheel of my Honda Civic as I traversed on roads that were not made for such cars while the skies let loose their fury in the form of a pretty nasty March snowstorm. That afternoon found me driving through Utah, attempting to find Arizona, through patches of the leftover storm. I crested a hill and nearly drove off the road when I saw the spread of Monument Valley beneath me. I had NO idea I was on that particular road or that I would get to see one of the most iconic places in the U.S.

Monument Valley is located in Utah, right along the Arizona border, closer to the eastern end of the two states. When I arrived, a patch of leftover storm was dumping its remains to the east, the left hand side there. After passing Canyonlands and Arches National Parks, and then this, I knew that one day I'd have to return to those sections of Utah prepared for some desert photography. I still have to manage to do that one day, but I'm in no rush. At least I can take comfort in knowing that I got to see this, surprise though it was! © 2012-Current.
