We stayed a couple of nights in Flagstaff and on 21st August we drove the two hours north east to Monument Valley. We weren't allowed to take our rental car into Utah (and Monument Valley straddles both Utah and Arizona) so in no way did we cross over into Utah or take the 17 mile off-road loop round the valley. 
Again, it was incredibly hot. The visitor's centre had a good exhibition on about the Navajo code talkers, whose war-time codes were never broken.
On the way back, close to Tuba City, we passed a sign saying 'Dinosaur tracks'. We came off the road and was led around the site at Moen-avi by a Navajo woman. It was amazing to be so close to these tracks but a bit weird walking over them. I'm sure they'd be fenced off anywhere else.
