    I always thought about coyoty roadrunner cartoons and how the animators must have spent time here.

    It's way beyond our comprehension. how long it took for that vast plateau to be worn down to what we're seeing to day. The monuments are all that's left of it. A geological time duration of millions of years.

    The movie National Lampoon’s Vacation, Stagecoach, The Searchers, 2001: A Space Odyssey and Mission Impossible II was filmed in Monument Valley. Just some of the other movies made here. Great Video.. I wonder if The Looney Tunes got the idea back for the Roadrunner and Coyote cartoons from here. Happy Thanksgiving Russ. Have a Great Turkey Dinner.

    You know what I like about your channel? Well, besides everything lol...i like that it's about where your going and where your at, not just yourself or fixing stuff or products...you do have some of that a little but not too much. I love everyone I watch that travels, but sometimes some are way too focused on themselves instead of the journey and showing the areas.

      @sledawgpilot ปีที่แล้ว +3

      He has his promotional videos and I don’t begrudge him that, it pays for all the entertainment he gives us. Also I’m generally sort of interested in that stuff. If life was fair it would be more like $ what network tv people get.

    • @rickeap
      @rickeap ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Exactly. I watch lots of travel videos and too often young pretty things make themselves the star attractions. The videos need to be about the views and experience, not about the people behind it. Russ has the perfect mix, enough to get to know him but it's about the travel, not him.

    A few years ago we were in Monument Valley after a huge snowstorm. It was just incredible! I think there was a law, years ago, that if you were making a Western movie, you had to film at least some scenes in Monument Valley! If cowboys were driving a herd of cattle from Abilene to Kansas City, they'd go through Monument Valley!

    Years ago we camped at the Navajo park in Monument Valley. It rained overnight and after sunrise we had to load our Harleys in the rain. It was like riding on oil. The road down into the Monuments are amazing. The rainy morning had the clouds so low the Mittens looked like ships looming out of the sea.

    Monument Valley, is famous for being beautiful in UTAH, and I remember the film Forest Gum, Tom Hank once ran along this road, while shooting the film Forest Gum. Even though it looks barren, it has its own beauty, like large stone carvings. thank you for sharing and gave information about this valey

    WE WERE IN MEXICAN HAT YEARS AGO AND STAYED IN THE MOTEL ON THE SAN JUAN RIVER. IT WAS BEAUTIFUL. I HAVE SOME STUNNING PICS OF THE MOUNTAINS AROUND THE HAT AND THEY SHOW THE FORMATIONS IN THE MOUNTAINS THAT LOOK LIKE A ZIGZAG PATTERN IN ALL DIFFERENT COLOURS. IT IS INCREDIBLE

    Gotta love how they featured an altered version of Forest Gump Hill in Monument Valley with CGI giant balancing rock formations ontop of the real spires of Monument Valley, and then CGI destroying Monument Valley complete with swaying and seasawing balancing rocks for the film San Andreas during the great earthquake scenes!!!!

    Stopped there last fall. It was a highly anticipated site to take photo when.........I got there about 8 am. About 200 feet down the hill and group of 10 or 12 foreign tourists had gathered with tripods set up in the road, ruining any possible photo opp's. I waited about 30 min and they didn't leave. I finally walked down the hill and explained no one else could get a photo, and they started shouting at me. Not a pleasant situation, was quite disappointed.

    Just north of the Mexican Hat rock formation is a turn off to the west for Gooseneck State Park. This small park is an absolute must see. It overlooks the switchbacks of the San Juan River as it proceeds to Lake Powell after flowing through the small town of Mexican Hat. You will not be disappointed. The geographic features are stunning. It's only a few miles off Hwy 163 and is paved the entire way. The state of Utah has a minimal vehicle fee to enter this park. It's a small price for what you'll experience.

    In 2013, I took this exact photo that you show @ 6:45 in your video : Utah Route 163 looking south towards Monument Valley. I didn't know it was Forest Gump's "last mile" ... lol ! You can access the Navajo Tribal Park (it used to cost 5.00 US$ to enter) and tour the site alone or with the help of a local Navajo guide if you wish (at an additional cost). In 1981, I toured the site alone and got stuck in soft sand with my truck. I was lucky to carry iron "Traction Aids" and a shovel with me and I was able to get out of trouble all alone. Route 191 takes you to "Canyon de Chelly" where you can admire "Spider Woman" tower, a marvelous sight. Extraordinary part of the World to discover and explore. Cheers. RICHARD

    Hey Russ, happy Thanksgiving! Don't tell anyone, but many years ago when I was at the "Forest Gump" view area I picked up a frisbee-sized chunk of sandstone and took it home as a souvenir. Mexican Hat Rock is pretty neat, but I really like the layering in the bluffs behind it. If you make it back to the area, try to check out the Goosenecks of the San Juan, one of the most spectacular sights in the southwest. Happy trails!
