So after we learned a bunch about Mesa Verde from the park ranger (who btw was friggin adorably nerdy and had a bunch of freckles!) and traveled back down the mountain/mesa on our way across the desert to Monument Valley.
We made our way to Cortez and the tiny little airport was empty! (we were there because american airlines lost our bag with our helmets in them, they graciously rush shipped the bag to the tincy lil airport on our 2nd day) I walked around and found the maintenance guy for the airport, who called the 1 person who ran all departures. She was in her trailer down the road, and said she would be there in like 10 mins. Thank God he was able to reach her, those helmets afforded us our helmet cam and blutooth communicators.

So after some boring straight desert roads, we started to come upon some mesas and plateaus. Eventually we made it to Valley of the Gods and there was a dirt road that I was curious about. I proposed to Jordann that we try to see what it was like. Jordann had limited offroad experience so we were a little nervous about it since it was entirely sand/gravel but we decided to go ahead and tackle it. I am super glad we did because we were able to get right up next to all the amazing "monuments".
