White Rim Road (Shafer Canyon)

After all the tarmac, it was nice to find a bit of dirt to ride in Utah.

I meet a 3 KLR riders who had also travelled from the Pacific Northwest to Southern Utah. Two on KLR650s and one travelled from Oregon on an old KLR250. Once on the dirt I was jealous of my KLR's younger, lighter 250-er cousin.

 I'm posting part 4 of the 6 part "monotonous helmet cam along the canyon" video. -I figure that I won't subject you to a 6 minute helmet-cam-iMovie-soundtrack video. If you want more, it is there for you.

 

The Road To Canyonlands

It was my first trip to southern Utah. Turning off the main highway this was my the view as I rode into the National Park.

Salty Dog

I took a ride in August, a round trip; Seattle to Moab. It was me and the KLR for a week on the road. 
I stopped at the Bonneville Salt Flats to see the legendary place. 

No, the KLR will not break any land speed records, still, it was fun to see others speed down the salt at top speeds. 

 I did have some fun on the KLR just racing my own race along the flats.
