The word 'monumental' is defined as something that is great in importance, extent, or size. This past weekend was monumental for me....not only because of the things I saw and heard, but also because I spent the weekend camping in Monument Valley on the Navajo Indian Reservation. Monument Valley is located on the Utah-Arizona border not far from the Four Corners region. It is a Tribal Park owned and managed by the Navajo Nation. There is a 17-mile loop that you can drive that takes you to the main sights, however there are restricted areas that can only be accessed with a Navajo Guide.
We were able to spend the night with a Navajo family on their land next to their hogan and witness one of their ceremonies that lasted the entire night and into the morning. Below are some photos I took on our trip. Difficult to put into words the sites and sounds we experienced so I will just let the photos speak for themselves.

These photos are absolutely stunning! After the knowledge that was restored yesterday, this must have been an awe-inspiring event. The sun, the moon, and the stars--BEAUTIFUL!
Work prevented me from going, so thanks for sharing your experiences. I know you were up early and awake late to capture this grandeur ... God's handiwork ... beautiful!
