Your post brings back such great memories. We try to make a different loop each time, but there are special places we do each visit and you captured some of them spectacularly. Not only a great ride, but great photos.

We try to add a few new state parks each year, although it is worth it, it is still a $5.00 pain in the ***.

Thanks for the pics.
Over the past years I’ve been to all those places. You got to see it all in 1 trip.

North Rim was closed and not open for the season yet..

Hwy 12 was beautiful and glad it was a sunny day as we rode up and over to Torrey..the tar snakes were a major pia around curves..

Was suppose to go across 14 from Cedar City off 15, but it snowed the night before so 10,000ft elevation area not good..
