After a few miles on the highway... time for lunch heading to the North Rim! Noteworthy is the rest areas in Utah, nicest I've seen and similar to what we've seen in Europe. Truly clean bathrooms, covered picnic tables, vending machines. Everything for what it was made for. Thanks Utah, Nevada has the huge learning curve we think, half the time closed and filthy. Since 1956 of being in the Las Vegas area, you'd think they could take a lesson or two from nearby states. Eh...

Lunch Away!

Never saw a road with this many cracks in it before. We happened on this by accident but thought it would make a nice addition to our motorcycle roads.

After making our way through a few cities we see the Cedar summit in front of us. This summit reaches some 10,000ft and requires chains in the winter. During riding weather though, it's a favorite among our highways we love to travel on.

Nice to have a set a twisties to practice a little cornering, unfortunately she lost me along the way... :(

As you can now see, the shadows are starting to catch up to us and need to think about getting somewhere we lay our heads for the night.

Well, as you can see Ania is nowhere in sight and about to miss something I think she'd really enjoy but don't know what that really is, even for myself at the moment as we've never been down Highway 148, which is a short connecting point for our destination. Now I have to get back on my bike and see if I can chase her down.

Moving along, I find my bride and begin making our way by foot up a short path to Cedar Breaks. What is Cedar Breaks? We'll, it's a minature version of Bryce Canyon, so with that being said. Let's see what we have.

Further up the short trail we see another sign, ok...

All of a sudden I walk to the edge of the path in front of me as seen in the picture above and behold.

As you can see, we still had on our helmets and thought this was just going to be a quick shot or two but we were surprised to see such beauty. I said it in Bryce and will say it again, "mankind" don't deserve such a reward.

As you can see, there was some serious photography going on up here...

The shadows aren't getting any shorter as we approach the end of day 1. Also, you can see the season coming to an end by the changing colors of the trees.

This little stretch of highway had plenty to offer. Check out the thousands of fur balls next to the roads, with NO FENCE. This entire ride is littered with livestock of different types, especially as evening started to set in.

Thanks for the memories... Day 1.

Time to get started... Day 2. We came prepared to camp but found a motel for $35, so we escaped the zero degree night temperatures :)

Farewell to Panguitch Lake

For the next few hundred miles as we edge our way to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon we'll pass through lots of meadows, prairies and small towns.

Back on the highway, it's a journey we've made many times and love the ride through Southern Utah.

Still working our way down into the Grand Canyon and loving the highways!

This open plateau around the outside of the North Rim of the Grand Canyon is spectacular in the springtime. All these open fields flourish with small flowers.

For day 2 we've done a lot of traveling and starting to see the long shadows.

As things go, the camp grounds were full and were having a hard time trying to find a decent place to stay. We definitely couldn't aford a hotel down here that run a couple hundred a night and we have our gear to camp. We started looking around some pretty decent dirt roads for a place to stay the night.

Farewell to Day 2

Right in the middle of nowhere we found this camp area, which we thoroughly enjoyed. I must admit, it got pretty scary at night with no protection and animals howling but still we had a great time.

Well, we made it through the night. Here's my little princess up and ready to get started on day 3, right after we round down some coffee somewhere.

We were a mile or so down this dirt area. We're now headed to the North Rim.

Alas... Were Here!

The Grand Canyon's North Rim

As you can imagine, we were able to get some great photos in grrrrreat weather before we started home. Always another journey and road to explore for Vegas Valley Motorcycle Tours  Just 4 the Ride! More Photos... in fact hundreds.
