Gouldings RV Park
Monument Valley, UT
Today we packed up and left Lake Powell and headed south and east 132 miles to Monument Valley, UT. The drive went well and the country is barren and mostly Navajo Territory.
Gouldings is a complex of facilities which feature a lodge, restaurant, campground, gift shop, grocery store, and even a small theatre.
Monument Valley has these beautiful red rock formations that resemble monuments. Some of the more famous ones are in the background below. We took this picture from inside the lodge restaurant.
The local claim to fame is the filming of the movie Stagecoach with John Wayne. Here is the cabin he stayed in during filming.
Here is the small theatre that shows a slide show on the history of this complex and the area.
Gift Shop...
Restaurant (Dining Hall) with beautiful red rock background
Their own Gas Station with Food Court..
And a grocery store....
Everything is run by the Navajo Tribe.
We will be here for 3 days before heading north to Moab, UT and Arches National Park.
