RE: Late December Lake Powell Road Trip
#5



12 South of Torrey would be impossible on a bike this time of year. That's going over the Boulder Plateau at a little over 9,000 feet. I'm heading into Grand Staircase from the east and plan to drive through the monument if the road is OK in the shadows of the canyon. I suspect there could be places with some black ice so I'll be very careful. It will be an out and back run this coming Wed. A few pics of what I'll be riding through. I did this trip 3 years back on the Guzzi and that's why it's in the pics.

Approaching the Moki Dugway switchbacks from the bottom out of Mexican Hat

I'll be running the same route with the Honda and will take a lot of pics to post up.
