About Valley of the Gods, Utah

Valley of the Gods, southeastern Utah's magnificent secret, stands as one of the American Southwest's most awe-inspiring yet uncrowded destinations. Located just 30 miles northeast of Monument Valley near the tiny town of Mexican Hat, this Bureau of Land Management area showcases towering sandstone formations—some rising 1,000 feet above the valley floor—that rival its famous neighbor in grandeur while offering a more intimate, solitary desert experience. The 17-mile unpaved scenic drive (passable for most vehicles in dry conditions) winds through a landscape of named formations like Setting Hen Butte, Rooster Butte, and Castle Rock, with the snow-capped peaks of the Abajo Mountains visible to the north. Unlike Monument Valley's Navajo Tribal Park restrictions, Valley of the Gods remains free and open for exploration, camping, hiking, and photography, making it a beloved destination for adventurers seeking authentic Southwest wilderness. The area sits in the heart of Bears Ears country, surrounded by Utah's remarkable concentration of natural wonders—within two hours you can reach four of Utah's Mighty 5 National Parks (Arches, Canyonlands, Capitol Reef, Bryce Canyon) plus Natural Bridges National Monument, Goosenecks State Park, and the legendary Moki Dugway switchbacks. The geology tells the story of 270-million-year-old Cedar Mesa sandstone carved by erosion into the dramatic buttes and spires that photographers chase during golden hour. Whether you're on a Southwest road trip, exploring Utah's backcountry, or seeking the desert solitude that Edward Abbey celebrated, Valley of the Gods delivers that rare combination of spectacular beauty and peaceful isolation. This poster honors the untamed spirit and timeless geology of Utah's red rock country—where nature's architecture towers in silence beneath endless blue skies.
