Another trip we took from Goulding's RV park was to Muley Point on the southern edge of Cedar Mesa, via the Moki Dugway.
At the beginning of the drive, we passed some classic Monument Valley formations.

Approaching Cedar Mesa on Utah State Route 261,
Muley Point is on the far left.
To get to the top of Cedar Mesa, UT-261 climbs up the Moki Dugway. The Moki Dugway is a steep, switch-backed, unpaved road that was carved into the face of the cliff.

Highway UT-261 and the Valley of the Gods road far below
The sign at the top appears to have become a favorite for visitors adding stickers.
Near the top of the Moki Dugway, an unpaved road leaves UT-261 and leads 5 miles southwest to Muley Point.

An extremely scenic boondocking site!
