Driving directions via Google maps
Wow! You will not stop saying it. You’ll look across the desert and see these towers, these monuments and you’ll be impressed. Stop along the highway and pick up some sand and let it run through your fingers. It’s so red, it’s soft in some spots like fine sand and grainy in other places like gravel. The area is fascinating because of the geology but you’ll meet the Navajo people and then the culture of the valley really draws you in.
How is the drive from Las Vegas to Four Corners Monument and Monument Valley?
This would seem like a long drive to see some rocks, but the truth is if you combine it with a stop at Mesa Verde or a roundabout return to the Grand Canyon you can easily appreciate the extra time in the car. I’m a rock guy so this area and especially Monument Valley at dusk is on my top ten lists of places I have been able to visit.
