Moki Dugway part twoMoki Dugway part twoMay 19, 2007. We are enjoying the famous and exciting Moki Dugway. The "Moki Dugway" is a means of traversing a steep hillside without sliding down the slope. The Moki Dugway was built by Texas Zinc and Minerals during the uranium boom as a way to accommodate ore trucks. The Moki Dugway is 3.5-miles of graded gravel that climbs the cliff at an 11% grade according to Utah tourist information. I don't know that I can adequately explain the Moki Dugway other than to say that it is an exciting drive 1,000 feet up the side of a sheer cliff involving 10% or 11% grades (depending on the info source) and switch backs on a gravel road. All the warning signs were covered in Moki Dugway part one now we are going to start the exciting part of the Moki Dugway. Keep in mind that this is PART TWO of SIX pages covering the Moki Dugway. Make sure you visit every page. part one ** part two ** part three ** part four ** part five ** part six
