Alex,

there’s a cluster of notable things near moki dugway.

muley point:  a promontory 1,200′ above the San Juan valley.  270 degree views for fifty miles.  turn west at the top of the dugway, about four miles.

valley of the gods:  17 mi drive through mesas, buttes, red and orange stone.  similar to monument valley (just down the road) without most of the crowd, the tourist stands, and the fees and rules of the Navajo tribal park.  turn off to the east near the foot of the dugway.

 

goosenecks state park:  an entrenched meander of the San Juan river.  as twisty as the ox bows of the Mississippi, but cut into thousand foot trenches.

and, of course the Mexican Hat (a stone sombrero), four corners (more Navajo tribal park with souvenir stands), and the canoe landing just upstream from the village of Mexican Hat. (take the road across from the shell station).  good for a splash in the water – you won’t believe how fast you dry off in the desert air.  enjoy!
