Earache Posted July 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 Landon pulled his bike off road and up to the edge for a pic - I'd have dropped my bike to it's death if I tried that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earache Posted July 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 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.

Earache Posted July 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 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... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earache Posted July 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 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...

Earache Posted July 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 Next day and we're up at 0500 iand riding in order to beat the heat. Bambi and her friends were also up.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earache Posted July 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 The reds and yellows of the rocks look great at sun rise and sunset. Pictures just don't do them justice.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earache Posted July 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 While Brad and Landon go ahead, Joe and I stop at a canyon for a drink and pee break. More cool rock formations, drawings, stc... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earache Posted July 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 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... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earache Posted July 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 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... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earache Posted July 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 I love these roads - smooth and twisty - but the lack of any guard rails is kinda scary at first...Fuck up a corner here and it's a long way down! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earache Posted July 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 Again, the scenery is fantastic. Cold, crisp air scented with pine blows through your helmet and really makes you feel alive... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
