Driving From Valley of the Gods To Natural Bridges Monument Via Moki Dugway
How can you not be intrigued to visit a place with a name that sounds like it belongs in the fertile lands of Ancient Kingdoms? The Valley of the Gods is not a land of pointed pyramids and sun worshippers, but a sandstone valley in the desert in Utah. To explore the Valley of the Gods, you can enjoy a 17-mile loop scenic drive along graded gravel road surrounded by isolated cedar mesa sandstone buttes and towering pinnacles amidst the wide open spaces.

I took these photos when I was there...

Sure The View Hotel may be a little high depending on when you visit but it's well worth it in our experience:

A view of The View Hotel when we got down to the dirt road getting ready to explore Monument Valley:





The roads are all dirt but no 4x4 needed as there's no real obstacles that requires it..No flash flood or anything when we were there... O0

Having a nice meal while enjoying the views from The View Hotel's restaurant is really rewarding:

Most of it is on the Utah side of the 4 corners:

The room at The View Hotel is just average but you pay more than average for "the view" literally...

Aside from inside the tribal park, this view from the point Forrest Gump stopped running is nice too:

If you go there on a non-holiday, you can pose like this pretty much all day because traffic is very light:
