There’s something unforgettable about the vast, open landscapes of Monument Valley, where the desert meets the sky in a dramatic display of nature’s artistry. Located on the Arizona-Utah border within the Navajo Nation, this iconic region is known for its towering sandstone buttes, winding roads, and cinematic sunsets. It’s a place that has inspired countless travelers, photographers, and filmmakers—and now, it can inspire your next puzzle adventure.

In the fall of 2022, my wife and I finally made it to the Black Hills Roundup Rodeo in Belle Fourche, South Dakota—a stop we had planned nearly two decades earlier. Back in 2008, we were pulling our trailer westward toward Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons with our kids, a couple of tents, and a Dodge Durango packed with totes. That trip was unforgettable, not just for the scenery, but for the unexpected detour down Crazy Woman Canyon Road.
