Gsxrgirrl Does The Southwest - National Parks and Monument Tour 2007
Late last year the BF and I started planning a trip to the southwest. I had always wanted to see that part of the country as the photos I had scene in magazines and writeups looked brilliant. Unfortunetly due to time constraints with his job he was unable to get away. So I asked a riding mate to accompany me. She was just as excited as I was. So armed with my route, maps, quickstand, chain lube and WD40, and tire repair kit, plus personal bits and pieces, off we went. The trip was to be 12 days through 6 states. We ended up doing about 3,400+ miles. All I can say is WOW! the scenery is simply spectacular, and some of the roads are not bad either! Hope you enjoy!

Day 1
We started out in our own backyard. Look familiar? :)

Day 2
We got underway at 6:00 so we could have a 7:00 am departure for Death Valley. I had read so much about it I could not wait to get there. There is stark beautiful quality about the place. And as the road winds down into the valley you are rewarded with stunning views. The road also rewards you with lots of mini whoops and dips :-)

Day 3
We started out this day from Kingman, Arizona. We had initially planned on staying in Sedona but because we had dithered around in Death Valley to long we settled on reaching Kingman, via a brisk little clip down 95 through Laughlin as the traffic and construction outside the Hoover Dam was not very appealing. We headed out of Kingman early morning to continue down Route 66.

Day 4
We had arrived in Tuba City late in the evening the previous day. We had taken 64 East out of the canyon in dusk time and were subsequently rewarded with the birth of a full moon on the way down. Leaving Tuba City today on the way to Monument Valley we stumbled across some 'Elephants Feet'. That is what the Navajo call them.

Day 5
We departed Farmington on our way up to Cortez to visit Mesa Verde. We wound up through 170 north through New Mexico and 140 North into Colorado. We decided to find a place to have lunch when I spotted this 'diner' outside Hesperus.

Day 6
We departed Cortez on our way to Monticello where we would visit Moab and the surrounding parks. Whilst staying at the Super 8 we not only got to do laundry, but they supplied cleaning gear for our bikes...

http://ttang.smugmug.com/photos/143821194-M.jpg
.
We visited the Canyons of the Ancients, a very old Peublo settlement. We took advantage of some time off the bikes to have a walkabout the ruins...

Since it was jeep week in Moab we decided to do Natural Bridges Monument for the remains of the day and visit Moab the following day. There are 3 natural bridges that make up this monument, Sipapu, Katchina, and Owatchamo. We determined to hike down into at least one of them...oh my...they are indeed spectacular. On the way down into Sipapu...

Day 8
This day would find us out in the wasteland, through some twisties, over a short but very sweet scoot on some luscious blacktop, a short ferry ride, through the gravel, and onward to Hanksville and Capitol Reef to arrive at our next destination, Escalante Grand Staircase National Monument.

On the way into Escalante you take SR 12..which is just brilliant...about 70 miles or so of non-stop curves..and the view from 9000 feet is quite stunning...

.
http://ttang.smugmug.com/photos/143821541-M.jpg
.
We were to pass even more spectacular scenery and sheer drops...but it was getting late in the day and there was a storm on the horizon...so with 15 mph and 25 mph curves, drops, and hairpins, I decided to watch where the hell I was going and get us safely into the town.
.

[gsxrgirrl]

Day 9
I had booked us into a delightful place called Escalante Bed and Breakfast and coupled with the room was a slot canyon tour. I had read about these canyons, also talked to a colleague about them, and had also seen them on National Geographic. Simply amazing what flash floods can do. Our guide was called Mark and he owns a business called Adventure Outback Tours. He was to lead us through three slot canyons: Narrows, Spooky, and Peak-A-Boo.

Narrows...

Day 10
We headed out of Escalante on the way to Zion. I had initially wanted to do a loop up through Panquitch and down 143 across 14 to intersect with 89 and Kodachrome, Bryce and Red Canyon but the day before it had rained which meant that up in the higher elevations of Panquitch it would have snowed and been rather chilly. So we headed down 89.

Kodacrome is a tiny little park tucked in amongst the 'biggies' but just as visit worthy...

Red Canyon is a really nice little park outside Bryce. To many people just blow past it after the eye popping beauty of Bryce, but it turned out to be one of my favorites...

Day 11
We had arrived in Zion the previous evening and did not have a chance to explore the park. The roads in the park, coupled with the slow moving caravans and cars, were not condusive to sportbikes, so we boarded the bus from Springdale into the park.

We headed out around 11:00 am to make our way to Barstow. Yah...Barstow. Oy. 345 miles later, after being sandblasted by trucks in the St. George gorge, blown about on the 15, and baked in Vegas, we arrived in Barstow a little crumpled and dusty. Pizza and a chardonnay or two seemed in order as tomorrow we would press on for home.
.
Day 12
400 miles later, via 5, 46, 101, and for me,880 and then 80, I was pulling up in my driveway. My friend and riding companion would have a little further to go as she lives in Napa. As I unloaded my little gixxer I reflected on the journey I had just taken...and what a journey it was! All told, we visited 19 national parks and monuments...and each one was just as different as the next. Would I do it again? You bet!!!

Cheers!! See the rest of the pictures from the trip here. (http://ttang.smugmug.com/gallery/2710894)

thanks everyone...!
.
the route did not take that long to plan actually..i determined which parks and monuments i wanted to see and what made sense as far as 'loops' went...i realised that the beginning days and ending days would be 'more miles' than the 'in betwixt' days...
.
the gixxers had no problems whatsoever.. i was diligent in cleaning and lubing the chains as well as checking air pressure. the BF has created a monster in that regard..:laughing
.
i have taken the redcoat ( gixxer ) to canada and have 12000 + on it from that trip as well as others, so find it comfortable for me...my friend had a bit of difficulty in the beginning as she was not used to it, but she became acclimated as we carried on...
.
as soon as i figure out how to do the map thing, i shall post the route up..we did stray from the intended route twice...but all in all, the roads were pretty awesome...especially the twisty bits and SR 12..

i've been about 70% of those places and i'd have to say those pics, even though they are absolutely beautiful, don't do it justice. my jaw was to the ground the whole time looking at those pics. did you stop in jackrabbit arizona? you know HERE IT IS! there's a house about 100 yards east of that stop that is NAIOMI Native American Indian Outreach Ministries inc.. basically it's a woman who takes in abused native american children, i go there about one a year for the past 7 years, if the drive out there seems boring, then you're not looking hard enough. so many props, looks like fun

gsxrgirrl, you are my new hero. That's exactly the kind of fabulous road trip possibility that got me into motorcycling!

I've done much of the route you covered (but in a truck), hiked in Peekaboo gulch, and was amazed. It's an amazing corner of the world and you captured it well in your photos.

Can't wait to see your route when you post it!

hey thanks for sharing those beautiful pictures and your wonderful time on the road. I'm envious . It has been a long dream of mine to do a cross country trip. You have re-kindled that dream. Now, it's up to me to make it a reality, right ?
Thanks again....

Beautiful photography. I have been to those places, but I don't think my photos due justice to the true magnificent scenery. Thank you for a wonderful post.

(Plan a slightly larger group next time, (like ME).)

gsxrgirrl can conduct a group ride, and she can be the tour guide. Assuming we all pitch in for her service.

[Mad Gnome]

Nice! And on a Gixx, sheesh. Love that country.
There is a whole lot of straight line asphalt between the twisties tho... a whole lot. I gotta know, how did your loaded bike handle at 120+ MPH?
;)
Some how when the road extends as far as you can seein a straight line, unbroken by paved crossroads, the wrist just gets heavier and heavier, at least mine does. Much of Texas, any great plains state and the central valley's I5 need to be autobans.
double thumbs up for the photos.
Triple thumbs up for being a girl unafraid to just go for it
When next by Dixon NM (Btw Taos N Santa Fe) stop in at the Lavato Burger trailer / resturant. Get the Lavato Burger. Taste the Lavato Burger. GD Best Burger EVER. Fire roasted chile peppers, big pile of buttered mushrooms, melted swiss cheese... Now I have to spark up the barbie and get my burger on-
Thanks for the inspiration!
Keep riding and writing!:applause

[prasadis]

Amazing! The views the places, the ride - how I wish to see my bike against those backdrops !!!

I'm looking forward to see the map of the route as well, and maybe a larger Barf group ride is in order ?

I'm interested in doing such a ride - so anyone sharing the idea - gimme a holler!

And hats off to you gsxrgirrl! for getting together such an awesome ride and going through it!

[badlikeme]

count me in on the long journey you've requested. I have been itching to this type of scenic ride for sometimes. Just dont have partner to roll with in case of emergency. but ill go solo in automobile.

you just inspired my next long ride.
