Just a short, 20-minute journey from Bluff, you'll find yourself entering the remarkable landscape of the Valley of the Gods, a lesser-known but equally stunning counterpart to Monument Valley. This hidden gem, now a proud part of the Bears Ears National Monument, offers an intimate encounter with nature's grandeur.

As you drive the 17-mile loop through the Valley of the Gods, you'll be greeted with an enchanting world of towering buttes and striking pinnacle formations.  The route meanders through a majestic display of geological wonders, presenting a panorama of reddish-brown rock structures that rise dramatically against the backdrop of the clear blue sky.

The drive is unpaved, but can be traveled by normal vehicles under good weather conditions.  Visitors are asked to keep vehicles on the roads.

The western exit of the drive connects to UT 261.  From here, you can easily access Goosenecks State Park.  Or travel north on UT 261 as it becomes the Moki Dugway, a 1,200-foot ascent up Cedar Mesa, offering breathtaking views and a thrilling driving experience.

The Valley of the Gods not only offers visual splendor but also a sense of tranquility far from the crowds of more famous destinations.  Its vast, open spaces invite visitors to pause and soak in the serene beauty of the desert.

Whether you're an avid photographer, a nature enthusiast, or simply seeking a peaceful retreat, the Valley of the Gods is a magical place that promises to leave a lasting impression with its untouched natural beauty and serene ambiance.
