General Discussion / Monument Valley in July

« on: April 02, 2010, 11:29:45 pm »

I'm in the final planning stages of a solo self contained trip Fresno-Boston leaving in June 2010.  I'll be using AC's WE and TA routes with some wandering thrown in to keep it interesting.  From the main route through eastern Utah, I noticed that Monument Valley is "only" a 55 mile detour.  But it'll be July and it's the desert.  I'll be carrying plenty (?) of water and a filter (if it'll do me any good in the desert) and I know enough to leave before the sun really rises.  So is there anyone out there with relevant experience that says that I'm more than a normally crazy guy on a bike to try this.

Thanks and may the wind always be at your back.
