Southern Utah
Wife and I cant get enough of this part of our great country. We have done part of hwy 50 out of Carson City then south to Utah and onto Laughlin a couple of times. This June were going to run all of Nevada's Loneliest Road and all 5 National Parks in Utah. We have booked a three night cabin in Torrey as base camp and a jeep rental for one of the days. The Jeep thing in Cathedral Valley should be a blast and mix things up a little. We always name our tours when we get back, will see how this one goes. Good Times!
Sounds like it will be " THE FIFTY FIVE TOUR "

Southern Utah is by far the most scenic part of the country. I've been there a number of times and am always excited by the prospect of a return to southern Utah. I hope you have a great time there.

[ update ] I found this story, check it out.....Great, I see another road trip there, so we can make this an overnight stop!!!!!
"In the time before now, bikers were shunned at motels, restauraunts, and many public places. In the midst of these times, a biker making the trip along Route 89 from Flagstaff AZ to Salt Lake City UT ran into a rain storm.
Soaking wet and not being able to see through the rain, the biker pulled into a public rest area, and was followed by a highway patrol officer, lights flashing. The biker was figuring on the worst, as times would have it then, but instead of ticketing the biker and telling him to move on, the patrolman asked if the biker was okay, and allowed him to sleep under a picnic table until the storm subsided.
The biker always remembered this act of kindness, and after he had a heart attack in 2007, he came across an ad for a rock shop, restaurant and hotel on that long stretch of Route 89 that he had grown to love all those many years before.
That place turned out to be Galaxy of Hatch, just a few miles north of the same rest area from so many years ago.
Built for bikers, by a biker who also understands the kinship and love of the road."

Nice headlamp in your aviator. Monument Valley April 2015, I put clear silicone over the glass to hold it together for the rest of the trip.
