Valley Of The Gods - Escape From Civilization

If you are in the Valley of the Gods area in Utah this is one trail that you should not miss. The valley springs up out of nowhere with a sight to see at every turn. It almost feels like a national park but it hasn't gotten to that step yet. There are pull outs to stop and admire the scenery, but there are no signs to point out the names of the features.

There are no tour busses or tourist traps in the area, no gas stations, gift shops, coffee shops, washrooms, and rarely any other tourists. Most are hesitant to bring their vehicles on the trail because it can be very rough and bumpy and subject to washouts. Some areas have rocks exposed from the shifting sands and scraping bottom is a strong possibility. However, the solitude and serenity of the area is well worth the extra hour it takes one to get through it.

Valley of the Gods is an eerie, desolate, magnificent landscape. If you want to escape from civilization, look no further.

Papa Was A Rolling Stone

While just about everyone has heard of Monument Valley or seen it in the movies, few have heard of the Valley of the Gods, 40 miles up the road in Utah.

Warriors frozen in time is how Navajo legends are said to describe the eerie, red rock spires in Valley of the Gods. In fact, the rocks forming this stark landscape are much older than the Navajo. This rocky valley lies at the base of Cedar Mesa, and the rocks were deposited by the invasion of a shallow sea about 250 million years ago. Over time, the water retreated, and the ancient sandstones and shales gradually turned red or purple as the iron in the rocks mixed with oxygen to form rust.

Valley of the Gods is the kind of place where you want to park the car and go exploring. There are no marked trails, and: Watch out for rattlesnakes in the underbrush! Or, drag out the beach chairs, books, something cold to drink and just be.
