4 Corners, Monument Valley, Flagstaff

There are several ways to get from Santa Fe to Berkeley. All of them are beautiful, but none of them are very direct. Since no direction seemed particularly efficient, I decided to travel at least some of the way through places I'd never seen. High on my list was Monument Valley Arizona.
No matter how many amazing photos we took, none of them could do this place justice. Words can't either, so I won't bother, but it's obvious when driving through why Monument Valley has been chosen as the backdrop for so many Western films as well as the surface of many a distant planet. Is that Commander Pike?
