Monument Valley Day 2

I was up early enough for some great sunrise shots but thought the color wouldn't be good.  Boy, was I wrong.  I did manage to get a mesa shot in the morning sun but missed the great color.

At 8:45 AM we boarded our tour truck/bus for a 5 1/2 hour tour of Mystery Valley.  There were 12 of us on the tour, three German ladies, a couple from Belgium, two ladies from London and five Americans.  We had a great time visiting the Anasazi ruins, looking at the petroglyphs and pictographs and shooting the great scenery.  Our guide, Don, a Navajo of few words, was a great cook.  Our lunch of hamburgers was delicious.
