Utah trip

[randyg]

Wife and I are thinking of doing a trip to Utah. The question is when is the best time to go? Not to hot not to cold. We are planning on hauling the trike to Moab and leaving the truck there and taking the trike to the national parks. We want to go though Arches,Canyon
lands,North Rim of the Grand Canyon,Zion,Bryce,and Capitol Reef and then head back to Moab load up head back home. Thanks for your input. randyg

My wife and I are planning pretty much the same trip. We are looking at the first part of September, have not been there before but weather temperatures are 60-80° for Highs an 30-50° for Lows at that time of year. We plan on staying a couple of nights in Moab.

Utah

Utah might be our favorite State. We did all the parks which are great but you can camp in the bush where there's no signs, you pull over on gravel roads where there are tracks and signs people camped there. We Biked there many times bringing a polaris wheeler as well.
We met some 80+ yr old guys who wheel and hike for petro's and ruins, and showed us some secret sites. We drive from Mn 1300 miles to camp with them twice and sometimes bike a few days.I would leave the truck in Blanding, Moab is too spendy. Don't miss the Museum in Blanding, It's Anisasi pottery art and paintings.
5th pic down has ruins in caves , zoom in to see. No signs to get there.
We did the Torrey BMW ride , the scenery is south of town, Escalate staircase, almost the best there..Cedar brakes Ntl. monument near Brian head peak, 11,300 ft. 23 degrees,13% grade 10 miles off the top going north.We flew a Skywagon to Utah for caveman ranch fly-ins and camping.We like a PU camper and trailer for rides. Haven't tried a trike there but one thing you will like is less animals on the roads. The parks are amazing and we might do them again, at least bike through some. there is so much in Utah we are going back every year I think. We did like BIllings Mont. SW to Redlodge and biking Beartooth and Cheif Joseph roads, Its also top on the list to ride again.The trike will be new to us in the mountains.
youtube videos of these rides to check it out.
There are great wx websites, please use them, and know flash floods can happen to you from storms 30+ away.
Happy Day
