Yet more amazing Southern Utah scenery…this state is one of the most scenically dense states we’ve been to.
October 10: We traveled through Natural Bridges National Monument with Liv on our way from Torrey, UT to Goulding, UT (Monument Valley area). The focus of Natural Bridges NM is the 3 significant bridges sitting over canyons carved by the tributaries of the Colorado River.
October 12: Moki Dugway & Muley Point View looking over to Monument Valley
We came VERY close to driving the Moki Dugway with Liv as we headed from Torrey, UT down to Monument Valley–both GPSs were telling us to take this short cut and RVParky didn’t indicate there would be any problem driving the rig down this road. I kept looking at the road on GPS and it looked like someone took a marker and made some scratches on the screen. So I told Tom, “Lets just take the turn, but go slowly to see if the road has any signs that indicate that we shouldn’t drive it with the rig…”. We did see signs discouraging taking this road with Liv and we came back a few days later to check it out.

The term moki is deried from the Spanish word, moqui, a general term used by explorers in this region to describe Pueblo Indians they encountered as well as the vanished Ancestral Puebloan culture. Dugway is a term used to describe a roadway carved from a hillside.
