Four corners and more

No, not the Four Corners, but a surveyed intersection of four US states. In fact the only place in the USA where four states meet - namely New Mexico, Utah, Colorado and Arizona. It's on Navajo land, and at the Four Corners Monument a number of Navajo artisans have set up stalls in an organised way. We called in to have a look and found we had to pay $3 each. Oh well. We had fun watching the other tourists attempt to be in all four states at once. And I bought a necklace with a Navajo motif.

We were on our way to Page via Monument Valley. Along the way the landscapes  kept changing. It was a lovely drive.

We've all seen the images in countless westerns but it was spectacular to see the real thing, an astonishing group of sandstone buttes called Monument Valley. We didn't do the 17 km dirt road drive but what we saw from the main road was beautiful despite the smoky haze.
