Riding the Moki Dugway is a must.

Route 150 out of Kamas, east of Salt Lake, through the Wasatch National Forest is a fantastic ride.

Nah, no good riding in Utah. Nothing but traffic and clogged roads.

As most everyone has said, plenty of great rides and wide open space. Mountains, red rocks, water, desert - I can't imagine ever running out of place to go. Enjoy!

I wife and I rode all through Utah this summer. A truly fantastic place. We can not wait to get back there.

Haven't read the whole thread yet, but here is my take ...

Utah is a GREAT place to ride. I rode in from So. Cal to St. George (southern corner of the state). I spent the better part of a week going through Bryce, Capitol Reef, Arches, Canyonlands, Dead Horse Point, Moab, Glen Canyon, and back a different route through Cedar Breaks.

Except for about 30 miles on I-70, this is all nice 2-lane highways. Stunning side of the mountain dropping into Escalante Canyon, then waking up in the morning to be dwarfed by Capitol Reef. Don't tell me there isn't a God!

Here's a photo from that trip I call "Why I Ride", and one of Capitol Reef (hope they make it in).

Go there and enjoy!
