Explore the majestic beauty of the Valley of the Gods

Everyone knows about the beauty of Monument Valley by now. From the classic Forrest Gump movie to the TV series Westworld, countless films and shows have been shot here. But did you know you have a similar place less than an hour away? Valley of the Gods is a hidden gem with scenery similar of that of Monument Valley. You’ll find numerous buttes and rock formations along the way, definitely worth a detour. Unlike Monument Valley, you can visit Valley of the Gods for free. We visited this in the afternoon, and other than some campers, we had the whole place to ourselves! It felt like we were on another planet! The road is rather sandy and bumpy, but that’s what makes it fun! We spent around two hours driving around, but if you’re not pressed for time you could easily spend a whole day here. Valley of the Gods is such a peaceful place, we didn’t want to leave. Another advantage is that you are allowed to drone here. In most national and state parks, this is not allowed, so we were so happy to finally get to bring out our beloved drone once again!
