Arizona - Monument Valley & Page

From Moab, we drove south to Page via Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park, a well known filming location for many Western movies. We’d have loved to be there at sunset but it was still pretty spectacular in the middle of the day.

Big John’s Texas Barbeque in Page

After arriving in Page we wandered up the street to find some dinner and came across Big John’s Texas Barbeque. This place was downright kitsch, complete with a live country band and buckets of unshelled peanuts on the communal tables. The food was seriously tasty and the people watching was on point, needless to say we had a great night!

Crazy colours on route 89

Being a desert, this part of the country is very sparse and the driving becomes pretty monotonous along some of the straightest roads we’ve ever seen, though it’s hard not to be constantly wowed by the landscape. Case in point, the tiny town of Cameron, which we only noticed due to the vibrant colours passing by the window. We stopped to fly the drone up to get a look from above - the colours and shapes were incredible!
