Valley of the Gods is located west of Bluff Utah at the southern end of the Bears Ears National Monument. The scenery here is spectacular and similar to its famous neighbor, Monument Valley. A number of movies have been filmed here taking advantage of the dramatic rock monoliths and other classic western scenery. A 17 mile unpaved loop drive winds around the towering colorful formations. There are no developed facilities so come prepared to be self-sufficient. Camping is permitted and nighttime visitors are treated to some of the darkest skies in the U. S. with countless stars and the haze of the Milky Way visible on moonless nights.
