We saw some amazing things that if you ever get a chance to go to we recommend seeing Zion National Park as its red rock sometimes looks fake like a movie set. Bad thing about Utah is it is a very religious state so it is hard to stop and have a beer in the evening as you need to buy a membership to drink in the pubs in the smaller town (if they have one) and things shut down early.

Stopped Vegas for a day and it was good. Kinda nice touring the strip on your motorcycle. After we left Vegas we went to check out the Hoover am and moved on to see the Grand Canyon. We decided to spend a little money and took a helicoptor/boat tour which was worth it. Pretty impressive taking a helicoptor into the canyon then loading on to a boat and going down the river checking things out.

Another cool thing to see which were some of the highlights of the trip in California were the Hearst Mansion and Alcatrez. Take the tours and I don't think you will be disappointed. Some pretty cool stuff in both of them. You will also see west coast seals and sea lions, which for us was cool as we don't see stuff like that here in Canada. We went and saw the Hollywood Sign, which wasn't very impressive at all. Movies really build it up apparently.

We kept heading north into Oregon and Washington where the scenery is second to none, and also found that they have everything. You can be riding in the Redwoods and half hour later be in desert looking territory. Lots of good roads and riding around Mount St. Helens too.

Overall the trip was great and will be really hard to beat. We hit some great winding roads that we got to melt the tires on. We ended up staying in motels most of the time and only tented three nights as we found it was nice at the end of the day to just lay in a soft bed and have a nice warm (or cool sometimes) shower without having to walk across the campsite to do it.

Few mishaps including Nolan's bad luck (or as we call him "Crash") with slipping off the road into a turnout once, dropping his bike off the kickstand at the American / Canadian border and wiping my bike wearing the frame slider down about 3/4." Also, Devin got his backpack stolen in Las Vegas which included several items including his laptop. I guess that is what insurance is for. The one wheeled trailer I designed and made worked great through all the curves, highway and gravel we took it on.
