Wow, it's been so heartwarming over the years to witness the raw emotions from fans who sincerely loved Johnny. All ages, from young children up and both genders, what an honor to honor his memory.

Important! If you do get 'stuck' on the wrong side of the road, wait it out! Floods don't usually last too long.

PSA
Please be aware while enjoying the outdoors in San Juan County, Utah. Be it hiking/backpacking going on a picnic or outdoor recreation in general. We are expecting an increase in moisture the next three days 10/9-10/11 2025. There is a significant risk of higher waters in rivers, streams and slot canyons please be aware of your surroundings and be safe if you are recreating in these areas. Slot canyons may become inundated with water. Some rivers and streams may be running high and swift. Trails can become impassable very quickly due to high water levels. What may be a trickle of water when you hiked in can become a full creek/river on your hike out. Please use caution and be smart when exploring beautiful San Juan County!

Our small community of Mexican Hat is committed to preserving the unusual serenity that surrounds us! The perfect spot to reflect and appreciate the journey.

Valley of the Gods is a stunning red rock landscape located in southeastern Utah, near the town of Mexican Hat. Often referred to as a smaller, quieter version of Monument Valley, it offers a breathtaking display of sandstone formations that have been sculpted over millions of years by wind and water erosion. Towering buttes, mesas, and pinnacles rise dramatically from the desert floor, creating a landscape that feels both ancient and otherworldly.

What sets Valley of the Gods apart is its tranquility and remoteness. Unlike more crowded parks, this area offers visitors a chance to experience solitude and connect deeply with nature. The 17-mile unpaved scenic road winds through the valley, providing incredible views of formations like the Seven Sailors, Battleship Rock, and Lady in the Bathtub. During sunrise and sunset, the red sandstone glows with vibrant hues of orange, pink, and gold, offering photographers and nature lovers unforgettable moments.

The valley is managed by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), which means it remains largely undeveloped and free of crowds. Visitors can enjoy hiking, camping, and stargazing under some of the darkest skies in the United States. This remote beauty, combined with its peaceful atmosphere, makes Valley of the Gods a perfect destination for those seeking natural wonder, adventure, and serenity.
