Monument Valley and Grand Canyon



The next morning, we got up at 5a.m so as to get to Monument Valley to watch sunrise.















We went in this jeep

After the Monument Valley tour, we went back to our camping ground to have breakfast and dismantled the pitched tents.

Then we headed to Grand Canyon - South Rim

We hiked from Mathar Point to Angels Lodge, mesmerised by the canyons along the trail.
