First stop was Elephant Feet Rock in Navajo Nation, Tonalea.
Graffiti around the Navajo Nation. The one below highlighting the issue with uranium mining. We saw signs saying uranium mines are still a problem and telling people to get scanned.
Many Navajo people worked the mines, often living and raising families in close proximity to the mines and mills. Today the mines are closed, but a legacy of uranium contamination remains, including over 500 abandoned uranium mines (AUMs) as well as homes and water sources with elevated levels of radiation. — US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
Into the second of our three states. Hello Utah, we meet again.
On towards Monument Valley.
And there we are… Monument Valley.
And a little further to Forrest Gump Point.
Despite the GPS not wanting us to find it, and despite us having been to it before we finally got to our motel for the evening.
