Is this the most Scenic drive in Utah?

Monument Valley, Valley of the Gods & More - One of My Favorite Drives

Hey, this is one of my favorite drives. Why? Just watch the video. I'll put the route here:

Take the 163 north out of Kayenta. This takes you through Monument Valley on the way to Mexican Hat. You really can't miss the turn off for Hat Rock just outside of Mexican Hat. I'll leave the San Juan River overlook out of it since it was a 4WD/high clearance road and I ended up in the wrong spot. A few miles outside Mexican Hat, turn onto Valley of the Gods Road. (This is PAST the 261 turn off toward Gooseneck State Park - which is also a cool stop off, by the way.) Follow that well graded dirt road through Valley of the Gods until it intersects with the 261. Take the 261 north toward the seemingly impassable rock wall. This is where the Moki Dugway is. Note that just about any vehicle can make it through these dirt roads and up the Dugway....but you don't want that long of a vehicle (like a bus or with a trailer) to get up the Dugway itself.

And that's about it. There is more up there once you get to the top of the Moki Dugway, but I ran out of daylight and was sick of filming. But it's an amazing area and worth checking out. If you continue on to Hanksville, you'll be in one of the most amazing areas I've found.

Enjoy!
