Starry Nights, Red Dirt Days
When we were camped in Bluff we all realized that we weren't quite ready to head home yet. Even though the nights were getting colder it was still warm and sunny during the days. We decided that Valley of The Gods would be the perfect place to park ourselves for a few more days before we headed for Monument Valley, the last stop on this years Fall in Utah journey. This 17-mile scenic road outside Mexican Hat offers numerous places to pull off and set up camp, for any size rig. The hard-packed red dirt road is however quite bumpy and rutted, so we choose a spot just a couple miles in. We set up camp nestled close to Setting Hen and Rooster Buttes with plenty of room for both our rigs. This area reminds us of a smaller-scale version of Monument Valley. The same tall, red, isolated sandstone mesas and cliffs surround you, but since this is BLM land, all areas are open to hiking and exploring.
Beautifully amazing night skies!
