The next day I woke up, had breakfast and headed over to the Wonderland where most of the other riders were staying. There I met up with Scott who I know from a Multistrada specific forum. We decided to ride on 12 some more and ride on The Burr Trail. The Burr Trail takes you through a beautiful canyon and ends up turning into a dirt road leading into Capital Reef National Park.
These are some random pics of the canyon:
Highway 12 was considerably more fun to ride in the day than at night. Being able to see the road and not having to worry about hitting a dear meant that I could actually relax and ride. We had lunch at a little cafe in Escalante (where they had just a little home BBQ grill that they used to cook our food on) then headed back.
We stopped at a little coffee shop that was built into the canyon and shot this picture of our view:
Here are just some random pictures from the rest of our ride:
We had a big dinner at Wonderland and I had the chance to meet even more riders from the club. It is always nice to be able to put a face to the name. For me that makes forums much more interesting than just anonymous message boards.
Well, the next day we headed home but not before hitting both Bryce Canyon and Zion National Parks. That will be the subject of my next post.
