Kris and I embarked on our little trip last week while Trent stayed home with my mom. The main purpose of the trip was to take pictures of as many temples as possible (we are going to offer them on my photography website) but we also visited a few National Parks and Monuments.
The first place we stopped was Monument Valley. It's located on a reservation right on the border of Arizona and Utah. Most of you probably recognize it from the opening scene of the second Mission Impossible movie where the guy is rock climbing without ropes on an impossibly high precipice.
The first thing we noticed about the area - besides the stunning natural beauty - was the cold weather and bone chilling wind. We had come totally unprepared since weather.com had predicted temperatures in the 60's. Have any of you ever camped in 24 degree weather? Well we did! Kris braved it out in the tent, but I sought refuge in the car. I was actually pretty comfortable temperature-wise, but a reclined passenger seat is not the most comfortable place to sleep.
We woke up before dawn and that's when Kris took this awesome photo. It really is an impressive sight. We drove around all morning and the whole valley is pretty amazing.

VERY nice shot! I can't wait to see others. 1000 photos--wow! My record is about 450 or 480 last year during the Greece trip.
Wow--that picture is amazing Kris. You guys have such an amazing talent with your photography! Can't wait to see the different temple pictures!
