After departing Moab in about 34 degree weather and bright sunny skies, we’re surprised by a brief snowstorm up around 7000’ at Monticello. The roads actually become snow covered on our approach into Monticello, and we run through another snow squall a few miles south. But, as soon as we decent out of elevations we’re once again on dry roads with sunny skies. By the time we cross the San Juan River at Mexican Hat the temperature is up around 45 degrees.
This is our 3rd visit to Goulding’s RV Campground in Monument Valley – we where here both before and after our visit to the Grand Canyon last year in 2017. We select site #34 which is perfectly level and long enough to not require unhitching. While the park warns that their WiFi system may be slow, with very few other users (only about 5 rigs), the speeds seemed fine. There are a couple dozen cable TV channels, but as usual, all in very cropped 4:3 ratio. Our initial plan was to spend two night here in Monument Valley. But, with temps around 20 degrees the first morning and forecast high of only around 40, we decide to pack up and head toward Flagstaff, AZ. More from Arizona!
