i’d decided to reenact the scene from forest gump which is filmed at this location, so i ran all the way from denver to mexican hat, ut, stayed over night in mexican hat, then ran an itty, bitty six miles to this spot before sunrise while avoiding the cattle on the open range.

it turns out running for me is nowhere near as fun as it was for forest gump up to this point. it also turns out this is a great point to stop running and just enjoy the sunrise and the red glow it gave the formations of monument valley in the distance.
