Valley of the Gods & Moki Dugway



The sign at the beginning of this dirt road states that the road is not traversable when it has been raining, and that sign does not tell lies. We drove six miles into the Valley of the Gods when a swollen impassable creek was cause for us to turn around.


Route 261 from Mexican Hat leads to the Moki Dugway, a road with switchbacks galore, and a gain of about 1,700 feet in elevation in three short miles. Plus did I mention the dirt mound guardrails, yup totally scary and cool in the same breath.
