De Gaulle And His Troops

While you can catch a glimpse of the valley from the highway, the best way to explore the Valley of the Gods in Utah is on the narrow, graded-gravel track of the Valley of the Gods Road (County Road 242). The road bumps, grinds, rises, and falls for 17 miles, winding past most of the dozen or so major formations that climb above the valley floor.

Some of the formations are named for obvious reasons: Battleship Rock does indeed look like a massive - albeit rusty - ship mired in dry dock, and Setting Hen is a knockoff of a roosting fowl. Balanced Rock, though, bears a striking resemblance to a Lady in a Tub, which is its other name. Eight miles into the valley are Castle Butte and De Gaulle and His Troops, a formation that obviously inspired a lot of imagination.

The valley's lack of designated trails is not a drawback. April and May are the perfect months to visit. Several television programs including Airwolf and Doctor Who have featured the the scenic area.
