Castle Valley
A broad red-rock valley beside Utah Route 128, with towering monoliths such as Castleton Tower and the Priest and Nuns. It is a frequent location for car commercials and films.
Castle Valley lies about 25 kilometers northeast of Moab. From Utah Route 128, take the Castle Valley road to see the iconic Castleton Tower and the Priest and Nuns rock formations. The valley contains small villages and private farms, so please do not enter private land. You can enjoy the view from the roadside or hike to the base of Castleton Tower, which is steep. Continuing up the road connects to the La Sal Mountains Loop.
