Two years ago, I was relaxing at Goulding's Lodge Campground at Monument Valley. It was near the end of my three-week vacation trip to Metropolis, Illinois.

The day before, I arrived at Monument Valley in the morning and took the Goulding's tour of the Navajo Tribal Park in the afternoon. This was made necessary as a marathon was being held the next day (November 18) and there would be no tours given.

I spent the day at the Goulding's Lodge and looked over the museum and gift shop and visited John Wayne's Cabin from She Wore A Yellow Ribbon.

I can see why director John Ford was smitten over Monument Valley. I visited it back in the 1980s, but this was the first time I stayed there and took a tour.

If anyone needs a place to see during vacation season, I highly recommend Monument Valley.
