18 April 2002, Monument Valley, Navajo Nation: Feeling our way through the dust storms, we found our way to Gouldings Trading Post, a famous Monument Valley outpost. After 48 hours of steady winds that produced sand drifts *insides* of many buildings, we woke to a beautiful day. Since we were still in the Rez, we found the only unguided hike allowed, a 3.5 mile hike around the West Mitten. Thousands of tourists drive through the valley daily, the signup sheet for the hike showed about 6 people hiked here in the last 2 weeks.
