Road Trip Utah: Valley of the Gods
I didn’t know about Valley of the Gods before this expedition. I must have learned about it while I was searching for possible day rides. Thank goodness I found it! Now it ranks as one of my all-time favorite routes.

That really is incredible. I’ve never known of this area either since we mostly stay on pavement but it looks like a fantastic experience, that country around Mexican Hat is astonishing in all directions.
Monument Valley’s closed though? Still for Covid?
Yes, incredible scenery, and difficult to understand why Valley of the Gods wouldn’t be protected from commercial exploitation. As to Monument Valley, I can only repeat what I was told when I inquired about the entry fee for bicycles: “No bicycles allowed.”
What a great discovery! Wonderful experience to be able to cycle there.
Very enjoyable ride, and quite easy considering its remoteness and the completely unimproved nature of the area. I was lucky to find it.
What a beautiful place!
Reminded me of the Chevrolet TV ad for 1964 — must have been made in that same general area,
Yikes! I never found the route up to the top. Probably all for the best!
I’m speechless. AWESOME. I’ve been regretting not holding out forever for an Ogre, but that road looks suitable for a Disc Trucker. Am I wrong?
I’m beginning to wonder if Ogres will ever become available again. But your Trucker should be fine if you go with wide, beefy tires. On the other hand, I’m told that cars, bikes, and pedestrians should avoid the road when wet.
