A little warm up (for New Zealand)

---

If you're looking at these pictures and saying, "That doesn't look like New Zealand," give yourself a pat on the back for your critical observatory skills because you're right. We recently did a little warm up trip (3-days, 120 miles) through a part of Southeastern Utah known as the Valley of the Gods, near Monument Valley. This iconic redrock desert-scape has been featured in numerous TV shows and movies, and highlights the vast, otherworldly topography of this region of the continent. Our trip went pretty well, and we had forgotten exactly how poorly we sleep in a tent. We'll keep the narrative brief and just show you the photos. There should be about 13 photos below.

Dropping about 1500-ft (about 460-mtrs) into the Valley. Definitely a fun ride!
