Eagle Valley, Cedar Summit, Bryce Canyon and Zion National Park:

The Rider/The Tour: The participant of this motorcycle tour should be at least an intermediate rider, with a few thousand miles under his/her belt. More ....

We're going to have a nice time, we'd like to have friendly riders join us.

This guided motorcycle road trip starts off from Las Vegas and will visit many popular cities and roads over the course of three days and two nights of Southern Nevada and Utah. Yes, we will see the famous Zion National Park, Bryce Canyon, and unusual scenery of Eagle Valley in Nevada. No, this Nevada / Utah adventure isn't the one going to the Grand Canyon. This particular tour crosses some desert areas of Nevada and Utah and requires a sense of adventure and a pioneer spirit.

Day 1 - Around 210 Miles: We'll head towards Eagle Valley in Nevada, enjoying the ride through older towns supporting silver mining and train stations such as Alamo, Caliente Nevada and others. A beautiful drive that we've been making for many years and we know you'll enjoy it. We'll pass by dairy farms, meadows, streams, lake beds, cow pastors, mountains and prairies. This could be a problem if there aren't any rooms to book IN Eagle Valley but we do have nearby towns that could be an option. For us... we camp :)

Day 2 - Around 174 Miles: Most of the day we'll be traveling to Bryce Canyon, where we'll also spend the morning of our 3rd day. Prior to our arrival we'll enjoy a ride through wilderness twisties and steady climbs to about 9600 ft from Cedar Canyon with sweeping curves of all kinds including cork screws. Much breath taking beauty is to be enjoyed on this 2nd day of travel.

Day 3 - 265 Miles or So :) We'll start the day with breakfast then a drive down to Bryce Canyon Point. Bryce Point is one of the numerous small overlooks that allows for great pictures from just about every angle of the hoodoos without driving clear down to the furthest point. Bryce is a palace of un-equaled color and beauty, rock and trees, valleys and canyons, parks and camp grounds. Bryce Canyon is more of a place that can be enjoyed in the hotter months from Vegas and for days at a time and is way too cold during winter months for motorcycles. During summer months when the time of day is extended, it proves to be a gift so we can get our best photographs. By the time we reach Bryce the Sun will be close to setting and time dinner. This drive through Utah's Scenic Parks such as Cedar Breaks and Bryce Canyon have a splendor about it unlike anywhere else in the world. Of course with this much beauty requires time to enjoy it and is one of the reasons we have a great balance of travel miles so we'll have time for plenty of pictures. Roads travel through a landscape ranging from 4,000 feet to 8,800 feet and will challenge the best of riders. On the course of these 3 days, 40% of our travel will be over regions of 5,000 ft traveling to Zion National Park. Zion is an amazing sort of beauty that is untiring both for riders and guides. It's a short ride, usually slow because of traffic through the area. If your on a Harley, you'll love blowing some steam and listening to the echo when heading through the 1.1 mile tunnel that was built some seventy years ago. It took ten years to build, when complete allowed a direct path from Zion National Park to the North rim of the Grand Canyon.

There lays a negative side of Zion. Aside from the cost to get in, one of the better touring roads have been closed to the public (sortof) unless you're staying at area hotels to get a pass. There are no secondary roads to enjoy and few places to pull off the roads that aren't jammed with cars for photos. I guess we'll just have to grin and bear it.
