  • This is a ride to the best roads in Utah, to experience the haunting beauty of the Moki Dugway switchbacks and the majestic Valley of the Gods. This is where red-rock formations tower hundreds of feet in the air. This is where a road has literally been carved from the face of a cliff.
    For our visit of Valley of the Gods we stayed in a motel in Mexican Hat - but having traveled Utah before and after our nice evening in Boulder, we were a bit disappointed by the infrastructure. The only open restaurant was at the San Juan Motel right at the Colorado river.
    We started our day and wanted to visit the Valley of the Gods - but due to me having been tired the day before I first forced my little three people travel group to ride one of the roads that we had already traveled to enjoy it again but this time full go energy: the Moki Dugway Switchbacks.
    The switchbacks of Moki Dugway are located only a few hundred meters from one of the entry points of Valley of the Gods - and definitely worth a visit if you are in the area.
    Moki Dugway was constructed in 1958 as a route for transporting mined materials and has literally been carved from the face of the cliff. "Moki" is a local term for the ancient Puebloan people who inhabited the Colorado Plateau hundreds of years ago. "Dugway" is a term used to describe a roadway carved from a hillside. The drastic switchbacks offer stunning views of the Valley of the Gods, the San Juan River Canyon, and on the horizon, you can even see Monument Valley.
    Afterwards we finally visited the Valley of the Gods. The road through Valley of the Gods runs between Highways 163 and 261. It is a hidden gem and offers isolated buttes, towering pinnacles and wide open spaces as far as the horizon. The rocks are shaded orange and red from the oxidized iron w in, their sandstone dating back over 250 million years. A 27 kilometer dirt and gravel road winds through the valley. A great place to get away from civilization - to enjoy nature as it has been thousands an thousands of years.
    Like Moki Dugway the road through the Valley of the Gods is definitly one of the Must-Visits when traveling through Utah with a motorcycle.
    Our next stop was the town Bluff. If you are looking for a place to stay in the area make sure you choose Bluff over Mexican Hat. There is a range of options from rustic cabins, to a big RV park - and as well a good choice of restaurants. In our case we were of course looking for a delicious big breakfast - and found it at Twin Rocks Cafe.

    10:45 is Church Rock. When I was kid in 1976, 10 years old, dad took the family on a long trip from our home in Florida to Nevada. We found this rock near an intersection of 2 roads and we stopped and walked out to it. The hole in the bottom was a small manmade cave for livestock. there was a small wood corral juts outside it.

    I was just down in that area. There are so so SO many places that are worth the trip that you can spend an whole month or more just fiddling around and finding all the interesting spots. Valley of the Gods is fantastic. I didnt realize it was BLM land and you can camp on the trail. I definitely need to get back there and ride the switchbacks. In Mexican hat, I stayed at the other end of town at a small hotel across from the gas station. its definitely not a four star Hilton. But the people are very nice and the steak was excellent. Its kind of the back of beyond so its a bit much to expect the same accommodations as one would find in a more traveled spot.
    Compliments on the video. Normally drone shots annoy me because they are so long and frequent. But you have done a good job of blending them into the narrative.
    EDIT: oh yes the twin rocks cafe in Bluff! that was a fantastic breakfast for me as well. cheers

    Loved the amazing cinematography in this episode, simply WOWZERS. The drone footage flying over the dugway and through the Valley was so clear and crisp, it went by too fast, I rewound to just take in the breathtaking views. This brought back such vivid memories of us doing those exact spots on our trip May 2018. It was a tough enough job to convince my wife to do the dugway in a car, let alone try to coerce her into doing it on the back of a bike. Thanks again for an incredible memory.

    Bravo! I enjoyed this most of all in this area. This is my most favorite You Tube place. I know I'll never see this in person, so you help me see this. I've watched this area dozens of times and you showed the "Mexican Hat" from the road that I was thrilled about-no one else that I watched, showed this from the road. Further on, your blend of music, road shots, scenery shots and drone coverage gave me goosebumps! Moki Dugway and Valley of the Gods are so special. You see, for some reason I can't explain, I seem to have a calling to this place, and a calling and feeling for the indigenous tribes, Navajo, Jicarilla Apache, Zuni Pueblo and the Southern Ute. In the Valley of the Gods, I can just imagine what it was like for the Navajo to be in there and what they felt and how they respected this, their sacred place. Thank you and have a most pleasant day!

    • @Got2Go
      @Got2Go  3 года назад

      These ones were really not scary in real life - it was a very wide rode and not so super steep at all. So no danger to fall off. You will see in the next episode that there was quite some challenges for me - and after the USA I will post a destination I recently visited where I got quite some respect of the heights…

    Mexican Hat is a Native American reservation border town. Some of these towns aren’t always welcoming to outsiders for obvious reasons. This was especially true during the pandemic due to record numbers of tourists coming through and bringing covid with them. Just respect the people and their history, and you’ll appreciate the views of their indigenous land even more.

    I want to do both of these roads, but I will be on a Honda GoldWing with a passenger. I think I know what I would be facing on the Dugway gravel, but I could use some more info on the road through the Valley of the Gods: The BLM website mentions a number of washes to cross? Is that feasible on a GoldWing?

    I discovered your channel Moki Dugway is legendary among my Harley riding friends. Mexican Hat is very off??? We ate at a place called the Swinging Steak, great food compared to the restaurant you ate at, good not agree more it seemed very likable but the food and drink sucked. Some of it has to do with the Navajo reservation and the overall depressed state of the Indian reservation. Did you see the Forest Gumb road?
