The Arizona/Utah trip!

I’m looking at my calendar and it looks like the week of 23 October is good for our planned Arizona and Utah trip.   Now the question is:  How long?   If you’re going to take time off from work, 8 or 9 days could work out well, as we could span two weekends (and that opens up a lot more that we can see).   My objective is to do about 250 miles each day, which gives a relaxed pace and time for sightseeing.  Or, we could make it 4 or 5 days and just take in the Grand Canyon, Zion, and maybe Bryce.  But I sure would like to ride Highway 12 again….here’s what it looks like from a drone…

And here’s what parts of that area look like from the saddle of my RX3…

I’ve been studying maps and working overtime on laying our route out.  I was originally thinking something along the lines of the Grand Canyon, Zion, Bryce and Capitol Reef, and then picking up interesting stuff on the way back.   The problem is that working Utah’s Highway 12 into the mix puts us up at higher elevations and it could freeze up there that time of year.  If we include Highway 12 and Capitol Reef, that puts us pretty far east. I sure would like to do that, though.  I’ve got a pig hunt at the end of September and after that, another secret mission to Singapore the first two weeks of October, so that means our Utah expedition has to be more toward the end of October.  I’ll keep working on it.
