Spent a relaxing day enjoying Monument Valley.  Took a couple of hikes: one in the morning into a box canyon that had sides about 200 to 300 feet high; and in the afternoon, we hiked to Arch Rock, an easy hour's hike behind the campsite.  Tomorrow we will head east to Aztec Ruins, about a four-hour drive, that is a memorial to the early Puebloan people who were misidentified by Mormons as Aztecs!  The area contains cliff dwellings and other signs of their culture that occupied the area in the 1100's.
