Southern Utah Motorcycle Trip. (Bryce, Zion, Escalante, Mexican Hat) *Part Two
What's that? You have special bags to carry your camp trash on a motorcycle. Neat, we have duct tape.
This road takes you right along the backbone of this rock outcropping. Impressive at and times a bit puckering to say the least. Now is NOT the time to high side it.
Chris says GOOD MORNING!
We gained elevation until we were COLD and at over 10,000 feet.
What a change from the heat of the high desert and red rock.
Back to the redrock we went.
These canyons were like being in a video game. I couldn't imagine a road that I'd rather cruise along daydreaming on.
Here is Jon doing just that:
It seemed like every 5 miles the terrain and colors changed completely.
Gotta stop here! The last time I was here was in the Landcruiser while exploring the remote parts of the Maze District.
Just call him easy rider.
Literally every spot looks like a nice place to stop. Eventually we found one that was just a bit better than the other pull outs.
I have been dreaming about riding this section of road on a motorcycle since I first drove it in my Landcruiser.
Jons says, What?!
Absolutely amazing.
Another one just for good measure.
The Dirty Devil River.
The Colorado River.
This remote gas stop was still cheap compared to what the California guys were paying at the time.
The Moki Dugway. A little dirt roading on Harleys.
It was a bit slick at spots.
Finally after a long day in the saddle we made it to Mexican Hat, UT. Our spot was right on the river and we were more than happy to relax.
