We're Gonna Take A Ride On A Little Back-country Road I Told My Wife...
As we headed out from Mexican Hat, Utah on our way home. That was the truth too...although there is a 3 mile stretch of a steep, dirt road section that scales the side of a cliff. This section is known as Moki Dugway and leads up to the scenic Muley Point when you crest the cliff. From the Muley Point vista you can see the Valley of the Gods directly below, and south/southwest to Mexican Hat and in the distance, Monument Valley. This fact doesn't impress her as she screeches and shudders all the way up! Most travelers avoid this route and instead take the alternate hwy. through Bluff and on up to Moab, etc.
Luckily, the snow had melted on this section although once on top there was snow all the 300 + miles to Salt Lake City.
1. Mexican Hat, just for grins!
