>>15394297
No, I've been to Mesa Verde and the Four Corners. But I've also been to Moab. Monument Valley is much more similar to Needles and Arches. The Four Corners look more like Mesa Verde, which is like the area around the Great Sand dunes, but no mountains. One is dusty, but the other is dirty, as in full of dirty, not dust. If the eskimo have 300 words for snow, how many words do you think the Chaco people had for sand? I hate sand. It's coarse, and it gets everywhere.
