On horseback it really felt like the best way to see Monument Valley. We drove to a ranch close to the Navajo tribal park and arranged for a private trail ride with a guide. Andy was on Toby and Kate was riding Frosty - we set off with our guide Shane for a 3 hour amazing ride into Horse Canyon through all the spectacular rock formations. Shane is married to a Navajo Indian so he had lots of stories and information. This morning we went back to the park and drove the public loop. The weather changed to glorious sunshine and we drove the dusty road with the top down. Beautiful. We picked up a list of Movies that have been filmed in the area so we have lots of films to catch up on when we get home. Move over Thelma and Louise (and Brad).
