Day 19 Cedar city to Lake Mead and Las Vegas

Cedar City…..dam cold, I think it was about 35F this morning, loaded up the bike, was ready to leave….battery dead….hmmmmm, guess it doesn’t like the cold weather (note to self, get a new battery). I was on a slight hill in the parking lot, but it wasn’t big enough to bump start my cold bike, luckily one of the maintenance guys was out and he gave me a push to get it going…I ‘ve had enough of this cold weather…head south!!!! which fortunately was kinda the plan…off to Lake Mead and the Hoover Dam. It was going to be a short day of riding today (about 5 hours) so I could get to the hotel, update my blog and get some gambling in….

Day 18 Cedar City Utah

Ok, Cedar City Utah was not my first choice of stops, but it just happened to work out that way….the clouds were looming this morn  and it had rained a bit last nite. I had planned to head northwest on route 89 to a road called Cottonwood Canyon Rd., this is a backroad in the Glen Canyon National Forest which ends at Cannonville and from there I would pass through Bryce Canyon onto Cedar City…well, that was the plan…checking out, I mentioned that I was going through Cottonwood Canyon Rd, the girl at the front suddenly had a weird look on her face and said “you’re on a motorcycle???” I told her I was, but it was capable to go off road…well her look changed to a sarcastic grin and said that it definitey wasn’t a good idea to go through that road with anything but a hardcore 4wd machine, especially after it had just rained…well that threw my plans for a loop…off to plan B. I had heard about a ride through Mexican Hat (yup, that’s a name of a town) and around the north side of  Glen Canyon Park, then south down the west side to Bryce Canyon. I mapped it out on Google and it showed about a 6hr trip plus two hours to get to Mexican Hat (starting point) and 2 hrs from Bryce Canyon to Cedar City, so basically about 10hrs riding plus stops…checked out, I started heading east for plan B….just out of Page, those dam winds started up again!! I don’t know if it is just because of the time of year (springtime??) or if it was alway like that year round but curse those winds…if you ever need an upper body workout, just ride a motorcycle through those kinda crosswinds and your abs, arms and neck will get tested….luckily it only lasted till Mexican Hat (2 hrs later), then it was smooth sailing (sort of)…I gotta tell you that over this ride I experienced all four seasons, started in the desert with the heat of the summer, started climbing in elevation and got the rains of spring, the hail of fall started with the thunder clouds above me, then the bitter cold of winter with blowing snow in Bryce Canyon…..

to tell ya the truth, not sure where this was....but it looked good...

Climbing in elevation after Mexican Hat, there was about a mile of gravel switch backs with cliffs on one side...lotsa fun!!

Clouds looming....this might have been where the rain started...

It's hard to tell, but it is snowing here...and dam cold!!!! took this pic while riding with one hand, camera in the other...probably not the smartest thing to do when snowing, but i have never been known to be smartest guy....

Up at the summit...9800 ft...gettin more snow and colder!!!burrrr!!!!

Once again, I have a lot more pics and if ya wanna see’em, bring over a few cases of beer (and maybe some vodka) and we’re good to go……The snow thing was what bothered me the most…who wudda thot???…but it is high in elevation and the locals said although it’s not normal, it does happen…oh well, I made it through without crashing (I actually had a jeep following me, so if I did dump, hopefully they would help me pick it up)….ended the day at Cedar City and hunkered down with a pizza at the Best Western (took me a while to find that cause of the GPS was messing up on me again and sent me 10 miles too far…), it was a long day, but the ride was well worth it and I would definitely do it again ( but maybe in the middle of summer).

Day 17 Grand Canyon and Page Arizona

Woke up early this morn and I was planning on getting in two stops today, hit the Grand Canyon, then head northeast to Page where Antelope Canyon is…..so off we go, head west on I40 to route 64 and head north, it’s pretty simple, but not for my GPS. That dam thing must have some old maps or needs a firmware upgrade or something cause this thing was taking me all over Flagstaff…fed up, I finally just started following the road signs and voila!!! I was in the visitor center parking lot….sometimes it just might be better to go “old school” once in a while. So I hit the visitor center, used the “can”, went out to the lookout, took a few pics, took a few pics for some other tourists there and then back on the bike…I was originally going to go for a little hike part way down the Rim trail, but there really wasn’t anywhere to change up and the thought of getting geared up after hiking didn’t sound too appealing (yeah, I know, some may call that a wimpy excuse but i think I’m gettin a little too old for that kinda stuff)….

The "Grand Canyon" from Mather Lookout

The "Grand Canyon" from Kenny's Lookout.....

It really is impressive and pictures cannot really capture the magnitude of this “wonder of the world”…at least not my pictures (maybe I shud take a photo class when i get back??). Anyhow, back on the bike and off to Page where I’m gonna spend the nite and go see Antelope Canyon (on recommendation from a friend of mine)….remember earlier on I mentioned that I absolutely hated riding in gusty winds, well the ride to Page musta been the windiest place I have ever been to…I not sure how fast the winds were blowing, but let me put it this way, when stopped to gas up, my bike almost blew over off the stand…apparently, this is normal for that area….I felt really bad for those guys pulling those huge 5th wheels. But none the less, I made it to Page in such good time that I was too early for check in, so in talking with the front desk girl, I found out I could get in on a tour of Antelope Canyon that afternoon (the only way to see the upper Antelope Canyon is with a guide ), I was actually planning to go the next morning, but hey, I had time to kill… the shuttle bus ( or shud I say pickup with seats in the bed) showed up and off we go. If you have never heard of Antelope ( I didn’t) you probably have seen photos of it, this place is know worldwide for its “slot”canyons and has been professionally photographed numerous times…..take a look at mine

These are only a few of the pics I took…I must have hundreds!!! If you wanna see more you are gonna have to bring a case of beer over (maybe 2) and I can show you all of them….years ago, there was a flash flood and several people actually died in the canyon which is one of the reasons why to see the upper canyon, you must go with a guide…I was glad that I went that afternoon cause guess what??? It was raining the next day and the canyon was closed…hah!! chalk one up to fate!!! If you are ever travelling northern Arizona, this place is a must see!!! I would even pass the Grand Canyon to see this if you could only do one…..so there you go, two thumbs up for Antelope!!!!
