Best of America (very true!) CBA1902

Saturday, September 28, 2019 | Marko Bauer / Milan Haase | North and South America

Sunset at Zion N.P.

Day 8: Bryce Canyon - Zion

Just when you think that it can't get any prettier...we discovered Bryce Canyon. Spectacular colors, innumerable Hoodoos (the steep rocks that make Bryce Canyon so unique) and of course blue sky on top!

After this magical park we continued to Zion National Park - almost as pretty, but completely different. We took the bus shuttle all the way into the canyon and hiked to the Narrows!

Another great dinner, and then we went to bed to be ready for our last riding day!

day 7: Moab to Bryce

Super nice lunch spot at Hell’s Backbone Grill in Boulder town, Utah
Thanks Tiff for the awesome action shots!!
Riding through Escalante national park
Riding across boulder mountain was a nice change up in scenery

Day 6: Rest day in Moab

Rest day - but who would want to rest in a beautiful region like Moab? Nobody...so we all rode to Arches National Park, just a few miles north of Moab. The scenery here can only be described with one word: unreal! Words can't really describe the majestic arches and mountains, just look at the pictures!

Volker, Rolf and Andrea hiked all the way up to Delicate Arch!

Day 5: Kayenta - Moab

Breakfast in Arizona, lunch in Colorado, dinner in Utah - and a short visit to New Mexico! That was our plan for this riding day. The first stop was Monument Valley, the beautiful scenery is wellknown from cigarette commercials and John Wayne movies. 
The next highlight was Four Corners, the only point in the US where four States meet.

Through Colorado we continued to State number five on this tour: Utah! Moab will be our host for the next two days.

Day 4: Grand Canyon - Kayenta

Day 3: Lake Havasu - Grand Canyon

Route 66, that was the theme of the day! We had the chance to ride the most beautiful part of the Mother Road, between Oatman and Seligman. And in the evening we had enough time left to visit the Grand Canyon at sunset - what a day!

Day 1: Santa Monica - Big Bear Lake

Riding time! After the welcome meeting, the motorcycle handover, dinner and a good night‘s sleep we were all excited to explore California! We started out with some sightseeing in Hollywood - the Walk of Fame, Chinese Theatre and finally the Griffith Observatory. But then it was time to do some riding, the San Bernardino mountains were calling. Whoever said that America has only straight roads needs to come here - this is motorcycle heaven!

Twisty roads took us all the way to Big Bear Lake - what a great day to start the tour!

James Dean was here as well

Southern California - there are not too many places which are more beautiful for a tour start!

Blue sky, palm trees and some beautiful BMW motorcycles - the stage is set for our tour to some of the most scenic national parks in the southwestern USA.

Hallo zusammen,
nochmals besten Dank für die sehr schöne Woche. Es hat sich absolut gelohnt nachzureisen und die restlichen Tage mit euch die Naturparks abzufahren und kennenzulernen. Es war tatsächlich "The Best of Amerika". Ich hoffe ihr seid alle gut nach Hause gekommen und würde mich freuen wieder mit euch irgendwo auf der Welt Motorrad zu fahren und Neues kennenzulernen. Beste Grüße Rolf
