More about this place

Moki Dugway is a steep and winding dirt road carved into the side of a cliff in southeastern Utah. The road is approximately three miles long and climbs 1,200 feet in elevation, offering incredible views of the surrounding area. The road was built in 1958 to provide access to a uranium mine in Cedar Mesa, but now it is mainly used by adventurous travelers seeking stunning panoramic views of the rugged canyonlands below.

You can stop at several viewpoints along the way to take in the breathtaking scenery, including the San Juan River Valley and the Valley of the Gods. The road is open to all vehicles, but drivers are advised to exercise caution and be prepared for challenging conditions.
