Default Time4me2roadtrip, Zion Nat.Park

Ever since my daughter passed her MSF and bought her bike, she has been practicing her skills and asking when we can meet up and ride together. Well it's finally time. Next week I'll be heading out to meet her in Richfield, UT and then take a couple of scenic trips through Zion National Park and either Bryce Canyon or Capitol Reef.

Here's the challenge. The route I've mapped out takes me over Wilkerson, Hoosier, and Vail passes to get out of Colorado. Hoosier tops out at over 11,000 ft. Then the southern UT area is known for mid 90's to low 100's in August. I guess dressing in layers and making frequent stops to stay hydrated and adjust the layers will be the rule. I plan on four days, about 2K miles, and lots of coffee.

Ride safe,
