As a little boy, I was a fan of John Wayne and have remained so to this day. The western films by director John Ford with John Wayne were a highlight for me at the time. In 1992 I was finally able to see this dream landscape from the films with my own eyes and I almost had tears. In 2012, during our second tour through the American Southwest, that had to happen again, of course. For me this landscape has something very special which naturally brings back memories of my childhood and that is something wonderful.

Als kleiner Junge war ich schon ein Fan von John Wayne und bin es bis heute geblieben. Die Westernfilme vom Regisseur John Ford mit John Wayne waren damals ein Highlight für mich. Im Jahr 1992 konnte ich endlich diese Traumlandschaft aus den Filmen mit eigenen Augen sehen und hatte fast Tränen. Im Jahr 2012, während unserer zweiten Tour durch den Südwesten der USA, mußte sich das natürlich wiederholen. Für mich hat diese Landschaft etwas ganz spezielles welche natürlich Erinnerungen an meine Kindheit hervorruft und das ist etwas wunderbares.
A Beautiful place to stop and enjoy the scenery. During the sunset or sunrise periods of the day, one can see spectacular colors in the sky. The redness of the rocks contrast the sky's behind it very well. Agatha Peak will not disappoint you.
