Wildcat Trail at Monument Valley

We camped at Monument Valley in Utah/Arizona. There are only two trails that can be hiked without a guide in Monument Valley. One of them is the Wildcat Trail, a four mile hike that starts at the campground. Pano from the campground/trailhead.

 The trail drops 900 feet and goes down and around the Left Mitten. We saw some wildflowers in bloom along the trail.

 Wild rhubarb

 We saw some of the other monuments from the trail.

 larkspur and a prickly pear in bloom.

I was surprised to see how thin the Left Mitten was from the side.

 Yucca in bloom

barrel cactus in bloom
