Day 5
Most of our trip was spent in the Four Corners Region of New Mexico, Colorado, Utah & Arizona. Today we visited Four Corners Monument which is operated by the Navajo Nation. There are questions as to whether or not this is the "actual" point where the four states meet, but it looked good to us. Lots of shopping can be done here for items made by local Navajo people. The drive into Utah was beautiful. It amazed us how the landscapes changed from place to place. Our next stop was Monument Valley, also operated by the Navajo. Lunch was great & we were able to try some traditional Navajo dishes. Jake chose mutton stew, he loves to try new things. We went to Goulding's Museum which contains lots of information about movies filmed in Monument Valley.
