Utah – The World beyond Earth

I came to the States 6 years ago, with a dream. That dream was to learn as much as I can about a country, its people, its terrain, the culture, the food, everything. I have always been very inquisitive about stuff. What goes in the salsa, why do we call “sand” sand, and not anything else. These weird questions I had, and well, still have affect me in a way I can’t describe.

It gives me that unending feeling of constantly being in motion. So when I came here, I gathered all the information I could about this new land I was going to call home. The first thing I managed to know, was a terrain which was once under the big sea, and spanning millions of years of violent tectonic shifts, giving birth to the land you see before.

6 years later, I got to visit the very first thing I came to know about this awesome geographically rich land. The Navajo Tribal Park in Monument Valley located in Utah has been the crux of the great Indian movement. Thousands of years of civilization, spanning across 3 different States, covering a massive area in the mountains. I fell in love with this place the moment I took my first step out of the car.

The scene so mesmerizing, the vibe so culturally positive, the valley immediately caught my eyes. The Monument Valley, a rock formation which took millions of years to form, and just seconds to impress an explorer’s heart.
