Moki Dugway
Most of you would be surprised to know that I don't just watch CNBC 24 hrs a day. Last night I awoke to a new show on the Discovery Channel (one of my favorites along with the History Channel and Nat Geo) called Hell Roads. In a previous life I was known to awake to Speed Vision at all hours of the night, reliving days driving at Lime Rock Race Track. So Hell Roads naturally got my attention. Unlike my first thought it wasn't about great and dangerous race tracks, it's about some of the most extreme roads in the world. One of the roads on the show was the Moki Dugway, built by uranium miners to get ore down the thousand foot Vermilion Cliffs just north of Mexican Hat in south eastern Utah. Some of our campers should remember a special morning where we watched the sun rise over the Valley of the Gods and then ascended the Dugway to the top of the mesa for a magnificent view of the valley below. From there you can see all the way to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon.
Lots of hairpin turns and sheer cliff drops
