From our vantage point we could see our next stop - the town of Hite. Calling it a "town" is kinda stretching it a bit as it's a gas station and some trailers...

Still, the only gas for 150 miles so we had to get there.

After fueling up, we're on the way to Torrey, Utah for the night. Stayed at the Best Western and expected it to be a dump. Wasn't too bad actually. Joe shows us the view from the room...

Torrey was our furthest stop west. Time to head back east in the morning. We were all tired from being in the 100F+ heat all day and bagged it around 3:00 PM at Torrey. Brad and Landon had laundry to do today as well.

But Joe and I got bored and we wanted to ride Route 12- supposed to be a great road. It's high - up to 10,000' - and green as can be. Lots of birch and pine trees at higher elevations with the desert onthe valley floor below us...

Joe and I got back just as the Moon was rising. Nice end to a long assed day of riding...

Then along Lake Powell as we head back to the Rocky Mountains...

The paved area to the right of the road is an airstrip. Looked kinda short to me, but then again, I'm not a pilot...

Blasting 300 miles across the desert and we begin our climb into the Rockies. Huge contrast in topography and the amount of vegetation, not to mention elevation...
