Canyon de Chelly' (sic?).  Green River near Dinosaur Monument river  looks similar , but the other photos give it away as Monument Valley area /  ne AZ-NM  and four corners area.

Any  pics of the place called Mexican Hat or something like that?  I didn't make it there.


Saturday pic looks like a lot of Zion NP pics  I've seen, but I didn't hike up there where that wash is.

I've been to Four Corners, North Rim, Zion and Bryce, but I think I have never been to any of those places. I looked through your entire album.... very nice. I liked #150 glassed out river/canyon.
I am wondering, how far between gas stations?

Or maybe it IS Dinosaur.

I don't know WTF that is, but I hope you'll give out a cigar or tell because that looks pretty beautiful to me, and now I want to see it in person!

Thanks!

Amazing how  de Chelly and Dinosaur do look alike!

Another Zion found on the web.

My guess is Canyon Lands N.P.  I've ridden from the So. Rim to No. Rim to Zion and Bryce and back to Phoenix via Glen Canyon.  I did 4 corners, Canyon De Chelly, Painted Desert/Petrified Forest and Coronado Trail.  But have NOT done Needles or Arches YET ;)

As a matter of fact when we took a Hummer tour to Secret Canyon (the slot canyon picture) we saw several road runners. I kept on the lookout for Wiley Coyote without success.

We're getting hot here. Not Canyon de Chelley. Did that a few years back. Not as nice as this area. NE of Monument Valley. Not AZ (yet). Well, the slot canyon is in AZ. Mexican Hat is the closest so far. Sorry I blew right past Mexican Hat Rock. I looked over my left shoulder at 80mph and remembered that from a 2001 trip. Pretty cool sight.

I've been to Four Corners, North Rim, Zion and Bryce, but I think I have never been to any of those places. I looked through your entire album.... very nice. I liked #150 glassed out river/canyon.
I am wondering, how far between gas stations?

We've covered most of the same tracks but I did south rim instead. Thanks for the comments. Just uploaded last night and haven't looked at it myself yet. #150 was one of those lucky moments when the scenery is perfect, the light is perfect and the water is still. I'm shooting with my 5 year old Panasonic pocket 7mp Lumix DMC-TZ3. OK for a pocket but not good in low light. My buddy was using his semi-pro Canon. Didn't want to risk his pro camera on the bike trip. Can't wait to see his shots. Check out his site! If you're interested in purchasing tell him I sent you. Maybe he'll give you a price break  ;) http://www.wildernessartphoto.com/
As far as gas stations go it all depends on where you go out west. The most extreme for us on this trip wasn't an issue - maybe 100 miles. I've been riding in the NV desert with 150 miles between stations on my Harley with a 5 gallon tank which usually get 40-50mpg, in the extreme heat riding up to 80-85mph and pulled in for a 4.92 gallon fill. It doesn't like speed AND extreme heat combined especially if there is a head wind on my big ass shield.
