Valley of the Gods

Trail Overview

Spectacular 17 mile route through iconic desert spires, buttes, and formations. Think Monument Valley that you can actually drive right next to the monuments and wild camp - for free. This route is not hard, but you MUST pay attention to weather - if it rains, it flashes very easily and you can be stuck in here for up to a week.

Difficulty

Typically hard pack with some washes to cross. Nothing technical or hard and relatively flat. Pay attention to weather - if it's wet or going to rain, stay out unless you are prepared to stay in for up to a week.

History

Valley of the Gods is considered sacred by the Navajo - please be respectful.
