The Moki Dugway


The really is a place called the Moki Dugway.

It is in southern Utah.  It is a 3 mile gravel road that winds 1200 feet down a cliff.  Into the entrance to the Valley of the Gods.  

A "Dugway" is a road dug out of the land that goes though a high land form.  A "Moki" is.....your guess is as good as mine.  It was built in the 1950s by a mineral company so ore could be transported to a mill near Mexican Hat, Utah.

Here are some photos.  Hold on!





Here is a photo of the cliff that it goes down.  You can't see the road, but it is there.


Here are a couple of shots from pull outs along the way.
