Driving a Thor Vegas 25' Moho pulling a jeep. Should I try the drive UP the Moki to get to Rt.95? It'll save 50 miles not going around thru Bluff.:E

Accidentally drove down Moki Dugway last year in my 14,050 lbs 31 ft class c with a motorcycle carrier on the back so basically 34ft long. Really tight hairpin turns and sheer drop offs. Wouldn't do it again in my RV going up or down... Especially if my wife was in the RV again... She's almost over it :W

We drove the Moki from top down with our 2009 pickup (no trailer) and it was fine, Muley Point is very rough to get to but worth it for the view.

NO! the road is narrow and there are overhanging cliffs along the way so you can't hug the inside as close as you would like to.

Since you live in FLAT LAND of FL, Go for it. There is also a very interesting FREE boondocking camping spot (Muley Point Overlook N37ยฐ 14.053' W109ยฐ 59.565') if you turn left at the VERY top of the hill. The road to muley point is washboad, but the view is outstanding.

Please give me enough troubles, uncertainty, problems, obstacles and STRESS so that I do not become arrogant, proud, and smug in my own abilities, and enough blessings and good times that I realize that someone else is in charge of my life.

We recently drove Moki Dugway in a 3500HD dually crew cab pickup. It can be tight when meeting another vehicle, however we had no problems. Large dump trucks and a grader were working on the road at the time. Signs state: 10% grade, towing/vehicles >10,000 lbs GVW not recommended.

You can VISUALLY drive the route in Google maps HERE. The second to last switchback near the top appears to be the tightest plus the 10% grade.

I've done it in my 32' MH, no problem and fun. Keep an eye out ahead for oncoming vehicles and plan for pullover at the wide spots. Take lots of photos, you'll be talking about it for a long time.

Agree. We drove up it with just our TV, but it was built for trucks. It has several hair pin curves and narrow in some spots. There are numerous YouTube videos out there. Watch several and determine if you want to do it.
