Traveling Route 163 in all its variants is to travel a route that allows us to better understand the immensity of the United States of America and that allows us to enter routes that will remind us of the cinema of other times and also of current times.
Mile 13 of Highway 163 is a mythical point and it is sure to be in the retina of all our readers because its landscape has appeared in countless movies. One of the most outstanding is the “Forrest Gump” movie, and it was exactly on this road and on this mile the exact point where the character that Tom Hanks embodied so masterfully stopped running after long years of running.
And just a little past this magical movie theater in the heart of Route 163, you come to the grand, splendid, unique, and always impressive Monument Valley. In Monument Valley we will find a space that amazes because of its aridity and its wild character. It is a landscape that also takes us to the cinema and it is one of the essential points of all the classic westerns of the American West.
