I've there once 10 years ago. I stayed at the hotel, drove around the road on the valley floor once & moved on . I didn't even know about Hunt's Mesa. Looks like I missed out by not doing my homework.



The hotel is an awesome place to set up your camera and shoot the stars at night too. :)

You need to get back there Rick. Grab Ben and go on a road trip. :)

I need to dig through my archived hard drives for the DSLR shots of monument valley, but here's a behind the scenes shot of a timelapse I was taking from my room in the View Hotel for Father's Day 2016.

I like your behind the scenes shot Johnny.

Your timelapse would be cool to see too, post it here or in it's own thread. We don't have a lot of people doing timelapse, but they sure can be cool.

Oh, man, Jim! Hunt's Mesa is on my list of places to shoot from one day!
Here are a few, I've posted them already but I really liked the skies I had this year.

And this pano....11 shots, nearly 10' wide, running from the Hub on the left to The Three Sisters on the right. I'm having it printed in a tryptich. Should have it hanging in the store sometime next week.

I was out slogging around in the snow yesterday so I didn't see this. Here are a few from areas not shown in this thread.

The classic image of the mittens and Merrick Butte with foreground rocks. This is right near the visitor center.

The Tear Drop. You need a guide to get to this location just past Gouldings Lodge on a private road.

You need a guide to get to this location of the sand dunes near the yei bei chai and the Totem Pole.
