After giving Leslie’s ankle, and David’s still aching back a couple of restful days to heal, we decided to go back into the valley to see the stops that our tour had missed. After paying another $8 per person entry fee for the tribal park, we stopped at the visitor center to go through the shop and pick up some post cards and enjoy the view from the patio (One of the best views in the park). The public road through the valley is a combination of dirt, sand and gravel. The first decent to the valley floor is a little steep and rocky making it rough in spots. But nothing challenging for the Behemoth. The total loop is only 13 miles. We took our time, stopping at the various overlooks and enjoying a beautiful afternoon. We climbed out of the valley just before they closed the entry gate for the road. The speed limit on the road is only 15MPH to keep the dust down and get people to slow down for some of the more rough terrain. But we constantly had people tailgating us, sucking up all the dust the Behemoth churned up on the dirt road. People seemed to be in a rush and were willing to risk damage to their cars by going too fast.
