Travel Valley of the God's

Valley of the God's · 06:13 PM

Valley of the Gods is a scenic sandstone valley near Mexican Hat in San Juan County, southeastern Utah. It is north of Monument Valley across the San Juan River (Colorado River), and has similar rock formations. This is a smaller scale version of Monument Valley, with tall, red, isolated mesas and cliffs standing above the level valley floor, remnants of an ancient landscape.
The Valley of the Gods area may be toured via a 17 mile dirt road (FR 242) that winds amongst the eerie formations; this is rather steep and bumpy in parts but should be passable by normal vehicles in good weather. Here are a few photos from our last visit.

Wide open country out there Charlie, we were out driving around for 3 hours and not a soul in sight.

The only problem with that Dave, is sometimes we don't plan it right and it gets to hot, I would sure love some of that cool weather down here for a couple of days.
