Isn't it the lead in to Monument Valley, Utah?I would like to be there this summer. Where is that located? I would like to drive that straight line. That is so cool.
We stayed at Goulding, just south of there. That pic would be about the 13 mile marker, looking south. Scene where Forrest Gump decided to stop running in movie . John Wayne made several movies in that area. If you go there, you have to check out Gooseneck SP, also area of movie scene (thinking it was Fort Apache) just a ways north of there.I would like to be there this summer. Where is that located?

Down by the State Pen?I rode trip for a living, I don't fly anywhere. To me the country is relatively small I don't always get to go to the best places but one of my favorites was the 101 down to Brookings OR.
If it is. As soon as the borders open up. Im heading that direction.Isn't it the lead in to Monument Valley, Utah?
It’s also worth it to drive the nearby remote Valley of the Gods road where they filmed Airwolf. That entire southern Utah northern Arizona area is gorgeous (Arches, Bryce, Zion park, monument valley, canyonlands, etc). As monument valley is on tribal land, there are no stores or gift shops or food or toilets. Just a makeshift stand selling Native American flat bread. I like that. Unspoiled for all to enjoy. Not touristy and ugly like the area by Niagara Falls.If it is. As soon as the borders open up. Im heading that direction.
I agree, what a great and beautiful country we have. I have traveled all over the world for work and there is plenty of nice scenery in other countries, but the USA is by far the best place. Can never understand why people want to go to another country for vacation when there are so many great places to visit right here, but then I'm probably burned out on international travel for work.I have always said that you can drive anywhere in this country and see some of the most beautiful scenery in the world. It's a big country, we should enjoy it!!
