A ride through Joshua Tree National Park is one of our
favorites and with the weather starting to heat up, we thought
we'd better get this ride in while the milder desert spring
weather is still hanging on. It turned out to be a wonderful
ride as the beauty of Joshua Tree never disappoints. Scott
Snyder planned the route and took the point on this ride on
his Victory motorcycle. We headed down to Mecca, where we
took our Starbucks break, and worked our way over to the
southern entrance of the park. The weather was great as we
rode through the park taking in the sights along the way. We
exited at the northern end where we stopped for lunch at the
Saloon in Joshua Tree. From there we headed home via Yucca
Valley and down to the I-10. As usual, it was another great day
to be on a motorcycle.
We headed out on our Utah ride May 18. This was a long-
anticipated week-long ride. The first leg of the trip took us to
Las Vegas for the night. From there we will headed to Utah
for several days of riding through national parks including
Zion, Bryce, Capitol Reef, Canyonlands and Arches as well as
a ride to the Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park. We headed
home via Flagstaff, Sedona, Jerome and Prescott. It was an
unforgettable week of riding. ~ Jim Ayala
