Valley of the Gods is a great little park located south of Bluff, Utah off highway 163. It is also accessible from the west via highway 261. A seventeen-mile road runs through the park, connecting the two highway entrances. The road is accessible to most vehicles, but like many semi-improved roads in the southwest, is crosses several washes that will challenge any vehicle that does not have ground clearance for off-road travel. I made several trips through the park. Even though it is smaller than the more popular locations, like Monument Valley or Canyonlands, it is no less stunning and I found myself stopping every five minutes to take-in a new sight, or get a different perspective on a feature.
