A trail that forms a partial loop, passable with most vehicles in dry weather in the Valley of the Gods.

To fully appreciate the beauty of the dozen or so rock formations that make up Valley of the Gods, part of Bears Ears National Monument, you can take the 17-mile (27 km) trail that winds through the valley. This trail, which forms a partial loop, is passable by most vehicles in dry weather. Beware, however, of the many holes and the risk of hitting the underbody.

According to Navajo beliefs, the rock formations found here are places of power where spirits reside, and the formations in the Valley of the Gods are some of the most distinctive, even if the names given on most of the brochures are quite American. In order, from east to west entrance: Seven Sailros, Setting Hen Butte, Roster Butte, Battle Ship Rock, Castle Butte, Balanced Rock/Lady In a Tub. The site is under the responsibility of the Bureau of Land Management, Monticello, Utah office. The Valley of The Gods B&B is located in the valley.

The west exit, on UT 261, leads to the superb Moki Dugway viewpoint, after a 365-meter ascent to Cedar Mesa. Please note: the road is unpaved between Valley of the Gods and Moki Dugway. Once on the plateau, you can also take the Muley Point Road to reach the viewpoint of the same name, 8 km from UT 261. Continuing on UT 261 for 35 km, you'll reach Highway 95, then Natural Bridges National Monument.

l'ouest rude et sauvage pour de vrai
l'ouest rude et sauvage pour de vrai... je partage l'avis précédent qui reste d'actualité. 2h de piste où l'on se sent presque seul au monde (prévoir eau et plein d'essence) car il n'y a vraiment rien a part un wc chimique à la sortie... Nous avons dû croiser 3 ou ' voitures en 2h ! Des paysages et couleurs magnifiques qui n'ont rien à envier à Monument Valley surtout dans la première partie. A ne pas manquer

Beaucoup moins fréquentée et connue que Monument Valley pourtant assez proche, Valley of the Gods mérite réellement un crochet. La traversée est assez rapide, environ 2 heures, mais elle vous laissera un souvenir impérissable. Les rochers aux formes humaines ou animales, l'atmosphère ambiante, cette sensation d'être vraiment seul au monde et au milieu de nulle part, tant que la fréquentation n'est pas trop importante... vous font vous sentir un peu aventurier. Certainement que traverser cette endroit à cheval serait le summum... A coupler avec Muley Point et Goosenecks State Park.
