Drive - Natural Bridges Monument to Page
State of Utah & Arizona
Not everything is a National or State Park. Here the scenery covers over 200 miles but there are some picture perfect moments and breathtaking experiences.

John's Comments
It will be remembered as a high point. Just driving down an unpaved road to the valley some thousand feet below while holding our breaths and then crossing much of north western Arizona to see the Navajo mountains makes one realize why driving is such a pleasant experience.
John`s Recollections
We took Hwy 261 to Mexican Hat from the Natural Bridges and with a quite exhilarating, but rather intimidating drop off Cedar Mesa to the valley 1200 feet below. This part is known as the Moqui Dugway and those should be aware the highway deteriorates to a gravel road with steep inclines and 180 degree turns. Terrific scenery along the drive includes the Garden of the Gods and Monument Valley (Navejo Tribal mountains). A favorite drive, where the next time will entail many more stops on the descent to capture the moments.
