Spring Break

The kids were out of school for spring break so it gave us an opportunity for a much needed trip. We decided to book a room at the View Hotel in Monument Valley. We arrived at our motel on Saturday March 11th after a four and a half hour drive from St George. The view from our room was amazing. The balcony on each room faces out over the very popular and amazing view of the left and right mittens rock formations. If you book a room at the View I would recommend the top floors which give you a star view at night. Monument Valley is recognized as one of the top sights in the US to star gaze. There isnt a bad room in the entire hotel as each rooms balcony opens out to the spectacular view of the valley below. We ventured out the first afternoon into the valley to look around and take pictures. Pictures just dont do this area justice. After all the years of looking at movies and photos of Monument Valley I have to say, you have to see it in person! Its amazing to stand in the middle of a desert with these sandstone giants all around you. After watching the sun go down we headed back to the hotel for dinner at the restaraunt and then back to our room for some stargazing.
