Did I ever tell you about my GF prior to W? I took her out to this incredible place (which you'll be driving by probably). It's an immense overlook of the San Juan river with Monument Valley to the west, the Goosenecks of the San Juan below, the Abajo Mountains to the north, the Lukachukai mountains in AZ to the south, and the Sleeping Ute mountain in CO to the east. 1200 foot drop-off all around a spur of slick-rock. She took one look and said, "I don't see what the big deal about scenery is." I took her home and said goodbye.
Actually, that spot is where my W and I got married and it was an incredible experience, but guess I'll just have to store that memory away now. Anyway, it's on Cedar Mesa between 95 and 191 - called Muley Point - and it's incredible. Can't remember if you're driving to Monument Valley or not.
