After driving up to Muley Point, we headed down to the Valley of the Gods loop road. This 17 mile unpaved road between UT-261 and US-163 passes through one of the most scenic areas in southeast Utah.
The Valley of the Gods Road wanders through an area south of Cedar Mesa where a series of canyons have eroded away most of the rock layers underlying the mesa, leaving behind some spectacular formations.
The Valley of the Gods B&B is close to the west end of the loop road.
One name for this formation is Balanced Rock.
Seen from another side, Balanced Rock is also called Lady in the Bathtub.
Some of the boulders look they could slide off at any time.
Does anyone else see Winnie the Pooh with his hand in the honey jar?
Setting Hen Butte
Castle Butte
An amazing landscape
The town was named for this nearby rock formation.
