Forrest Gump Point

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.
