As our time at Monument Valley was drawing to a clos. We remembered Will Cowboy suggested we visit Forrest Gump Point.
The spot is where Forrest Gump stopped his run across the country and back.
Lovely and desolate except for the tourist walking in the middle of the road for selfies.
Forrest: [running] I had run for 3 years, 2 months, 14 days, and 16 hours.
[he stops and turns around]
Young Man Running: Quiet, quiet! He’s gonna say something!
Forrest: I’m pretty tired… I think I’ll go home now.

‘Upon reflection Forrest realized his running helped him let go of the past.’
Great pictures of the landscape!
Thanks! Elephants never forget.
How awesome! Visiting filming locations has always been one of my favorite reasons to travel.
Cool. You should post about the places you’ve been.
Forrest Gump point is a fun stop!
It was fun watching people stand in the middle of the road taking photos.
