Today we got to go sightseeing
around Navajo Nation. The scenery was beautiful. We made our way to Monument
Valley, stopping along the way to take pictures at various locations. Once we
arrived at Monument Valley some of us went hiking around one of the giant rock
formations. Hiking down into the valley was a lot of fun as it gives you a
different perspective, however, the hike out of the valley was rather tiring.
It is hard to really imagine how
spread out everything is here in Navajo Nation. The distance between our
different stops always takes several hours. The towns we do encounter on the
road are small and few. It is also amazing how far into the distance you can
see when there aren’t a lot of trees or buildings obscuring the view. In the
endless open spaces there are cattle and horses that apparently roam freely
around the area.
For dinner tonight we ate at a
restaurant in Monument Valley with a beautiful view of the valley. We got our
first taste of Navajo Tacos and fry bread and it was delicious! Afterwards, we
headed to our hotel in Window Rock to get a goodnight’s sleep before our first
day of work tomorrow. Although it was a long day we certainly got to see a lot
of breathtaking views!
