Loyal BMW Adventure: More pix from the start of the trip!

In my haste to get a few reports out I wasn't able to download all my photos of the trip. Here is the part two of the ride report!

First stop on my trip was Zion. This place like all of the parks I vistited is magical. As I waited in line to get to my camping spot the weather was warm and sunny. 20 minutes later a thunderstorm rolled in and just as I got the rain fly on my tent the storm let go. Throwing everything in the tent I waited it out and then the sky cleared and I checked out the park. The bus system is great there and super easy to get around.

Nice little rock slide in action

Going East through the park and then heading North and back West to Beaver Utah the terrain kept changing and was never boring to say the least.

A few little adjustments with the gear set up along the way from the harsher parts of the dirt roads and I was back on my way.

I went past Big John's Flat and up over the highest pass. The bike worked great and I couldn't believe I was up there. The ride down to Freemont Indian Park campground took forever but was worth every inch.

The sand stone at the park was amazing. Never saw anything like this for the rest of my trip.

My next day was to go over Mt Nebo, catch up with friends and then to Moosehorn Campground. Once again as with every night so far I would be racing against the thunderstorms to get my tent up and gear covered. At almost 11k this would be my start of camping at altitude.

The biggest day of the trip as far as going into a remote area and the longest day on dirt it would turn out to be the highlight of the trip. If you ever get a chance to go from LaBarge WY to Alpine by way of LaBarge creek rd. to Grey's River Rd. I highly recommend this. Just note that Grey's will be closed in 2010.
