ReplyDeleteThere is a nice campsite just off Needles Ovelook road just South of Moab. The view is great and it's just a short hike to the rim of the canyon. The overlook gets very little traffic so you seem to have it all to yourself. I tried to get the GPS coordinates. They are 38°14'30.6"N 109°38'42.4"W There aren't any facilities so you will have to boondock it. Restrooms at the overlook, nice and clean.
ReplyDeleteTake 261 North from Mexican Hat and see Valley of the Gods and Moki Dugway. It ties back in to 191 just South of Blanding. Valley of the Gods to me is better than Monument Valley. The Dugway is gravel but I did it 2 up on a street bike pulling a trailer.
ReplyDeleteThey were all booked when we were there to we just pulled off in the canyon and camped for a couple days no bothered us! Moab was my best friends favorite on our trip !!!
