-Utah Rides-
This is where I can share my passion for two wheels and my love of Utah. I have spent years riding, exploring and looking for the not so known areas that creates some of the best rides with your crew. Utah truly is one of the best places to ride and enjoy all the variations of scenery it has to offer. If you have a ride that you love and its not on my list, let me know and we'll check it out and get it added for others to enjoy.
NORTHERN UTAH:
US 89 Logan to Garden City
A great day trip to Bear Lake to pick up a famous Raspberry Shake. 89 takes you through the Uinta- Wasatch- Cache National Forest filled with amazing scenery and views. Once in Garden city you can ride north on 89 along the lake shore through the small towns of Fish Haven, St. Charles, Bloomington and Paris ID.
UT83 Corrine to Howell (Golden Spike)
A ride through some of Utahs migratory, farm and desert lands. From Corinne follow 83 NW towards Howell and the UT/ID boarder. Along the way you can see the historic Promontory UT, home to the Golden Spike Historical Park.
UT 39 Ogden to Woodruff (Monte Christo Rd)
From Ogden you ride NE through Ogden Canyon to the amazing lake towns of Huntsville and Eden. The popular Pineview Reservoir is a great place in the summer months to visit and explore. From Huntsville make the right to stay on UT39 towards Woodruff. 39 if filled with beautiful scenery, expansive views and some excellent sweeping turns to have a little fun. The ride has a pretty good elevation change and it doesn't seem to matter when you ride it during the year, a flannel or jacket makes the ride a little more pleasant towards the top before hitting the small town of Woodruff.
Antelope Island
From I15 in Layton take the Antelope Dr for a straight shot West through Syracuse over the causeway to the Island. On the island are numerous loops and roads to see the predominant wildlife, campgrounds, view points, grill for snacks and the Garr Ranch. At some point during your time on the island, you're sure to encounter the free ranging buffalo population. A great ride for an afternoon in the spring, summer and fall months.
Emigration Canyon to East Canyon
Just minutes from downtown SLC located in the east bench area is the small canyon pass. Emigration Canyon Rd runs parallel to I80 up Parleys canyon. It's a great little ride that takes you Little Dell Reservoir. From here you can head over to Park City or keep left on UT65 to East Canyon State Park. Once you reach the the north end of the Reservoir you can stay on 65 and head towards Henefer. I think the better route is to take the left onto UT66 towards Morgan UT. From Morgan you can take I84 west to Ogden or east to Echo and back into Park City and the SLC Valley.
I80 West to Wendover
Now I know most of us do everything in our power to stay off the majors highways and interstate roads, however one ride that allows you to see just how expansive the Great Salt Lake and Utahs Salts Flats are is the run to Wendover. Along to the way you there are many look out points, views, crazy art, and the location where the world comes to set land speed records. Sundown might just be the best time to hit I80 to see God painting the sky. Its also a great place to just blast and run your bike close to or as fast as it will go for miles upon miles. The best part is after the few hour ride, you sit down have drink and play the odds in winning it big before coming home.
