Motorcycle Trip to the Canyons - 2015

August 28, 2015

Well, it's a very foggy morning along the river in Sault Ste. Marie as we get ready for our canyon adventure.

The itinerary will have us follow Hwy 17 North around the north of Lake Superior to Thunder Bay. South of Superior is a very boring route with little scenery; basically a long ride along a road surrounded by trees.

From Thunder Bay, we plan on riding west along HWY 11 to Fort Francis  where we will then enter the United States and head for Bemidji, Minnesota.

We will then ride to Fargo, ND, the Badlands, Cheyenne, and just north of Denver to cross the Rockies as we head to Moab to explore Arches National Park by jeep.

From Moab, we will head west and south to go through Canyonland, Bryce and Glen Canyons as we ride towards Zion National Park.

From Zion, we will head towards Las Vegas so as to take a helicopter flight over and down into the Grand Canyon. We will further explore the Grand Canyon and then start our route back, heading thru more canyons and another scenic route thru the Rockies.

Once out of the Rockies, we will basically "bee-line it" on our way back.

So enjoy the trip!  We will!!
