This morning we left the hotel and it was about 65 degrees. Perfect temperature for riding with a light jacket on. Zion National Park was unbelievable!! The views were surreal and traffic was light so we could take our time. Lots of pictures at pulloffs and even though we took pictures- they are never like seeing it in person. It is quite amazing what you find growing out of the rocks- greens, flowers and cactus.
The ride to the Grand Canyon was about 80 miles from Zion. The North Rim is beautiful but I prefer Zion as it is much more striking. The Grand Canyon is just so big....it is hard to really appreciate what you are seeing. The Grand Canyon lodge is a nice place to have lunch. The lodge's window views are really something. We walked the narrow path out to a platform that juts out into the canyon a bit. You can get a bird's eye view from here. 
On the ride back, Mike saw this gas station that no only sold gas but also sold lotto, GUNS AMMO and Beer!! Yes even in Fredonia Arizona- you can shoot em up and drink after!
A fast ride back to Kanab, Utah got us into the Holiday Inn around 3:30pm. We found a car wash to take all the dirt off of the bikes. Had an early supper at a steak house and headed back to the hotel. It will be an early night...we are both tired. Tomorrow is Bryce Canyon!
