This is a smaller scale version of Monument Valley with tall, red, isolated sandstone mesas and cliffs standing above the level valley floor. We toured this area via a 17 mile dirt road (FR 242) that winds amongst the formations; this is very steep and bumpy. The western end joins UT 261 shortly before its 1,200 foot ascent up Cedar Mesa.
