WHEN MY HUSBAND AND I WERE GOING TO GRADUATE SCHOOL WE TOOK MANY TOURS. WE DID A LOT OF TRAVELING THROUGHOUT MONUMENT VALLEY AND THE FOUR CORNERS WHICH IS ONE OF THE MOST PHOTOGRAHED POINTS ON EARTH. IT BOOSTS OF TWO FAMOUS BUTTES MADE OF SANDSTONE. THEY WERE FORMED BY 50 MILLION YEARS OF CUTTING DOWN THE SANDSTONE. THEY WERE FORMED BY 50 MILLION YEARS OF CUTTING DOWN THE SANDSTONE LAYERS. THE BUTTES ARE 1000'HIGH IN THIS GRAND DESERT. OF THE NAVAJO TRIBE. I REMEMBER THE NAVAJO FOLKS WHO SOLD SOME OF THEIR BEADED AND TORQUOISE JEWELRY TO TOURISTS ALONG THE ROADSIDE. THE TRIBAL PARK HAS 17 MILLION ACRES. IT IS ONE OF THE OLDEST PROGRAMS IN THE GOVERNMENT.
THIS VALLEY HAD NO VISITOR CENTER WHEN WE TRAVELLED AND HIKED THROUGH HERE. TODAY IT DOES. SOME OF THE NAVAJO GIVE TOURS HERE AND AND STRESS THE SPIRITUAL WELL BEING OF THEIR SPECIAL LAND TO THEIR PEOPLE. FOLKS FROM ALL OVER THE COUNTRY VISIT THE AREA. I REMEMBER IT AS BEING IN A SPECIAL QUIET AREAWHEN I WAS A GRADUATE STUDENT.
