The full name of Monument Valley is Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park. It is located in the Navajo Indian reservation at the border of Arizona and Utah. It is one of the top ten charming deserts in the United States with majestic scenery. The reason for the special landform here is that the deposits of the ancient Rocky Mountains were deposited here and turned into sandstone. Due to the continuous compression of the formation pressure, the surface fractures and uplifts, coupled with the erosion of wind and rain, became the remains of the ancient city today. scenery. There are no paved driving lanes in the entire scenic area, and the original ecological roads are rough and bumpy. In addition to self-driving, you can also choose to take a convertible car of the local Indians, take a seat on the roof viewing platform, and watch the beautiful scenery of the Gobi on both sides.United States · Navajo County

Arches National Parkis famous for its unique red rock landscapes, attracting a large number of visitors. Upon entering the park, a scenic road runs through the main scenic areas, with clear signs on both sides of the road indicating the location, hiking distance, and estimated time required for each attraction, allowing visitors to plan their routes according to their own preferences. Huge rock windows and arched walls set against the distant desert background create a powerful visual impact. In addition, attractions such as Balanced Rock and the Courthouse Towers are also located near the road, allowing visitors to park and take photos without long hikes, and experience the unique forms of the peculiar rock layers carved by nature.

Lake Powellis a well-known artificial reservoir on the Colorado River and one of the iconic natural views within the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area. It spans the border between Utah and Arizona in the United States and was formed by the Glen Canyon Dam impounding the Colorado River. Although it is an artificial lake, it presents a unique view that feels like a natural wonder, thanks to its spectacular red rock canyons, vast and clear blue waters, and complex, ever-changing shoreline topography. The total length of the shoreline exceeds 3,000 km, with nearly 100 side canyons of varying sizes, which hide many natural arches, caves, and red rock formations of various shapes. When boating deep into the lake area, visitors feel as if they have entered a massive labyrinth formed by water and rock, where every turn may reveal a new view.United States · Kane County

Tickets are $8 per person! Really worth it! Worth going! It is recommended to drive an SUV/pickup truck to go in for a walk. It is really enjoyable to stand on the sunroof of the car, be careful of the dust. Tourists who drive small cars can also ride in their cars. There are also horses raised inside

When I drove a RV fleet around the western United States in 2016, I didn't include Arches National Park in the trip because the RVs were relatively slow and the mileage was long. This year, I added Arches National Park to the trip to the seven natural attractions in the western United States, as well as Monument Canyon, which I will visit tomorrow. Arches National Park is located near Moab, Utah, USA. It covers an area of ​​309 square kilometers and preserves more than 2,000 natural rock arches, including the world-famous Delicate Arch. The highest point in the park is Elephant Peak, which is 1,753 meters above sea level.

Lake Powell is definitely a highlight of traveling in the central U.S. After seeing the Grand Canyon and the yellow land of the central desert, it is refreshing to come to a turquoise and clear lake.

Only 16% of the mountain was open, but it didn’t stop us from two extremely full days of enjoying new terrain. It was great not dealing with lines, crowds and the other inevitable parts of the busier parts of ski season. Will have to come back to hit the famous back bowls, but enjoyable nonetheless.
