Bluff, Utah is a small historic town in the heart of southeast Utah’s canyon country, just an hour’s drive from Monument Valley and perfectly positioned as a base for exploring some of the region’s most spectacular and least-visited landscapes. Listed in 1,000 Places to See Before You Die, Bluff sits along the San Juan River at the doorstep of Bears Ears National Monument and puts you within easy reach of Valley of the Gods, Natural Bridges National Monument, Goosenecks State Park, ancient Anasazi cliff dwellings, and miles of open BLM rangeland. We arrived in our Newmar motorhome — and were immediately welcomed by the local open-range cattle who have no concept of traffic laws.
