Utah Motorcycle Roads

Utah : Cedar City to Hanksville Tour via Escalante Staircase and Burr Trail (USA_TTC 11)

Breath-taking rock formations and the best roads in this part of the US. This 280 mile route takes in some of the best roads in the southwest United States and offers a great variety in terms of road types all set to a spectacular Utah Mountain backdrop. We start at Cedar City and head east crossing the Dixie National forest on State Highway 14 which tightly twists its way past Blowhard Mountain, Gooseberry point and Lake Navajo before joining US89 North to Hatch. From there we get on the on State Highway 12 ‘The Escalante Staircase’, arguably the best motorcycle road in the southwest USA and head east. This a great and diverse stretch that includes sections of densely forested hills, desert and mountains. Towards Torrey it is simply breathtaking, and if you don’t mind a little bit of bad roads, you can turn right at Boulder and tackle as much of the famous Burr trail as you feel comfortable (mostly paved road but a short section the joins the west side to the east, in the middle is light gravel) From Torrey, head east towards Hanksville and this route passes through Capitol Reef, and the scenery is absolutely amazing.

Zion Kolob Canyon

An absolutely gorgeous part of Zion Park, probably less visited than the main valley but gorgeous. This is a short out-and-back route, but worth posting because the scenery is simply epic. If you can't make it into Zion while traveling on Interstate 15, at least take this quick offshoot. You won't regret it.

Cache, Weber, Box Elder canyons and highways

This is a longer ride, 4-5 hours with nice twisty canyons and straight-shot highways in a loop through Box Elder, Cache, and Weber counties. Traffic can be a bit congested as the canyons have fewer passing areas than desired but plenty of fuel stops and beautiful northern Utah scenery (especially Logan Canyon into Bear Lake).
