South to Moki Dugway
Stopping at Hanksville it is once again time to ensure everyone is full of fuel as well as carrying 2 litres of liquid. There first thing you think about for the next 130 miles is…empty. Apart from the Ranger Station alongside the road there is very little evidence of human existence apart from the tarmac. There is ‘canteen’ that ‘might’ be open halfway along. Further along the empty road we arrive at the Moki Dugway. The Moki Dugway is a staggering, graded dirt switchback road carved into the face of the cliff edge of Cedar Mesa. It consists of 3 miles of steep, unpaved, but well graded switchbacks (11% grade), which wind 1,200 feet from Cedar Mesa to the valley floor near Valley of the Gods. From there we head around the edges of the Valley Of The Gods before we arrive at Bluff for the night
