Season Finale....Motorcycle Trip!

So we did our season finale. We headed to Laughlin, NV. we left Monday and spent the night in Mesquite. Arrived at the Colorado Belle in Laughlin on Tuesday, we took a lot of really cool pics in the Valley of Fire and Lake Mead. We spend 2 days there and then headed out to Lake Havasu City, by way of Oatman which was really a cool little mining town, and it looks much like it did many years ago, and there were lots of donkeys just wondering through town, very cool and they are even going to be opening up a gold mine real soon, they will be mining it again! We left there and went to Sedona, AZ. What a beautiful place, spent 2 days in Sedona just riding around checking out the sights and the city, it was great! We headed to the south rim of the Grand Canyon after our stay in Sedona, and all I can say is breathtaking! We hiked to a few different points and we had a really grand time. Next we headed home by way of Mexican Hat...although this was not an uneventful day, we got pelted by hail, sleet and rain and it was COLD!!! We spent the night at a cool place called the San Juan Inn right on the river and next day made it to Torrey, UT. what a quaint little town. Between Mexican Hat and Torrey we say the beautiful Glen Canyon and Fry Canyon area and the scenic byway 95 was just beautiful! But it was so so cold we got only a few pictures, but we do intend to do that part of the ride again next year in better weather! All in all we had a great 10 days of riding. Well almost 10 for me, we stopped at our daughter Jennifer's house in Spanish Fork and I actually bailed on Chad and rode home with Sarah in the car! The following link should take you to a slide show of a few of the pics we took, we will upload some more once Chad is finished with them!
