Monument Valley Part 2 - That was Bumpy

Damien and I were grounded all morning by tailwinds, finally launching at 3pm for a bumpy tour of Monument Valley. I made a quick side trip to the San Juan River Canyon and the Goosenecks, and circled the buttes as the sun set. The flight ended with a gentle cruise in the wind shadow. Running time, 8 minutes 31 seconds. - Part 2 of 4.

Once again, a stunningly beautiful vision of our great Southwest! Wasn't this location used partly in "MacKenna's Gold" starring Gregory Peck?

What song is this?

And also, the "Over New Mexico" video on Vimeo.

Sorry to ask on almost each video, but after watching these several times, I want the tracks on my mp3 player.

when i visited bryce canyon and grand canyon. I missed out on the monument valley as we ran out of time and also the entire team was not as excited as i was about monument valley. I felt so bad that I had to go back without visiting Road Runner's home.

Now, after seeing this video. I feel worse. I should never have listened to them and skipped the valley!!!

You see these places in travel guides but this just makes it even more impressive.
