Darcie taking “one last picture” at the Monument Valley Inn

Getting Darcie to leave the hotel was like trying to pull a six-year-old out of Disneyland.

Rain in Monument Valley

If it doesnʼt rain where you live, rain on vacation is entertaining, not annoying. Or at least thatʼs the lie I keep telling myself.

You can sometimes salvage a bad weather photography day by going black-and-white.

The view from John Wayne Point, Monument Valley, Arizona.

This is the view from John Wayne Point. A sign reads

John Wayne Point

It has been said that this was John Wayneʼs favorite place to view the beauty and serenity of Monument Valley.

His first movie filmed in Monument Valley was John Fordʼs classic “Stagecoach” in 1939.

He starred in four more movies in Monument Valley culminating with his fan favorite “The Searchers” in 1956.

Yes, thereʼs a gift shop. Yes, it has an entire John Wayne section.
