Category: 2022 RHG – Mother Road Tour

Left Jacob Lake, AZ and headed to Tropic, Utah.   In route we first stopped at Moqui Caves (Kanab, UT).   Our second stop was at Red Canyon on Utah State Route 12.    We arrived at our hotel in Tropic, UT to rejoin Craig and Cathy.    Tomorrow we will tour Bryce Canyon National Park (UT).

We left the hotel and traveled southerly to the Grand Canyon North Rim.    The trek was approximately 50 miles.    Today’s weather called for strong winds – 25 to 30 mph.    The road from Jacob Lake to the North Rim was excellent – and there was little traffic unlike yesterday’s Zion travels.    We arrived late morning and spent about three hours walking the “rim” trails and outlooks.   The winds gusts were serious … limiting some efforts to get on higher grounds for “that spectacular” view.    However,  the sights were not disappointing.     We also met a great family from east Texas – the Lopez Family.     We had some great discussions along the trail.   Funny,  we had nothing in common from the outside ….. however,  we had so much in common from the inside.    Thank you Lopez Family !!

We left St. George (UT)  early morning to avoid the afternoon heat.      Our first adventure of the day was to ride to Kolob Reservoir.   Unfortunately,   Craig’s motorcycle started to overheat as we climbed the first inclines of the road.    It was decided that he would turn back and head to St. George to regroup and arrange transportation of his motorcycle to Las Vegas (NV) for service.   We would continue on to Zion National Park and our hotel in Jacob’s Lake.     For now,  we will stay on course and await updates from Craig regarding the repair of his motorcycle.     To early to call what is next for the Mother Road Tour 2022.

Visited a great Utah State Park today.    Awesome short hikes on petrified sand and volcanic rocks.

First day of Utah National Parks tour with Cheryl and #LivingOffTheSlab. In route to St. George, Utah was toured through the amazing Vally of Fire State Park in Nevada. Awesome ride…. regardless of the temperatures. Ps. I-15 sucks…. two construction areas backed traffic up miles. First time ever, but due to the excessive heat we rode the break-down lanes. Temps to hot for humans and motorcycles.

We spent most of the day riding the roads, hiking the trails and seeing the many outlooks.    It was an epic day at this great national treasure.
