The Arizona Grand Adventure

Thanks for a great time in Arizona everything was first class, especially the BMW1200RT, what a bike. We took the Arizona Grand Tour north, slightly modified. Day two we stayed at Lee Ferrys Anglers Lodge and took a whole day to see the North Rim, it was awesome. The next day we were heading to Page and Monument Valley. Got a flat as we were coming in to Page, called AZride and Gabor came up from Scottsdale with a new wheel. Got back on the road late afternoon and got into Kayente at dusk, no more rooms available. We carried on through Monument Valley in the dark, not recommended it was scary. We lucked out in Mexican Hat and got the last room at the Hat Rock Motel, a very nice place. We stayed in Eagar Best Western and I did the Rt.666 loop solo with out bags, what a sweet handling bike and what a ride. Took a side trip near Alma NM. to Mogollon mining town, nice ride. Salt river canyon was awesome, also took a trip to Tortilla flats, a must do ride and then back to Phoenix. It was a trip of a lifetime totally awesome.


Thanks again
