Help with route from Monument Valley to Lake Powell
Could anyone help me with the route from Monument Valley to Lake Powell? It seems like it is approximately 50 miles shorter to take Hwy 98 through Kaibito, but several suggested routes say take US 160 south to US 89 north. Is there a problem with Hwy 98? Thank you!

We took that road last June, and there was no problem. It's a little desolate, but that's all. I could never figure out why it wasn't recommended over the longer route. I wouldn't do it at night, because it has some hilly and curvy spots that might make hitting a deer more likely.

On another subject, I have just found out where the entrances to Valley of the Gods are. Do you all have any opinion about whether it is a worthwhile side trip? We will be staying in Bluff.

OH YES, wonderful views of Monument Valley off in the distance. It's been several years since we've done that route because of the Motorhome.
We're going to have to have a tow vehicle so we can go to some of these places again!
