Moki Dugway, Utah

one exit route from Valley of the Gods involves a steep drive up the Moki Dugway, a gravel switchback road dug into the side of Cedar Mesa...in just three miles it climbs 1,100 feet in elevation

Looks like an NZ skifield road David. Great for practicing hand-break turns.

A great take of this a wonderful place and views from the top amazing, I look forward to see more. I di this drive in January with a lot of snow and ice and remember wondering if it was a good idea. Certainly worth it in the end.
