I had the pleasure of spending 4 days and 3 nights exploring Southern Utah with Marty (roktaxi) and my wife Catherine last weekend. We left Grand Jct on Thursday morning, heading thru Moab and continuing South towards Monticello. Marty knows Montezuma Canyon very well, so we followed his lead showing us some excellent rock art and cliff dwellings. The drive was beautiful, there were also a handful of homes built into the slickrock walls, some of them very high-end!
We exited Montezuma Canyon and headed past Monument Valley and into AZ, making the turn back North to Page. A quick drive over the Glen Canyon dam and back into Utah and the sleepy town of Big Water for the evening.
