500+ Miles R/T (Grand Canyon Run)
- Thread starter Scar
- Start date
After we left the Canyon park, we went through Cameron before heading back to Flagstaff, down the 17 to cross Prescott County.
Here are some pix from Cameron...it's nothing more than an outcropping of businesses for traveler convenience. We refueled and headed South on 89
Before we got to Prescott, it started raining (different mountain range), and we could see there was a rather active thunderstorm occurring in the advancing mountain. While we were crossing the summit, the lightning was bolting directly overhead. Very cool.
We got wet there, too.
I think that's it, ya'llz.
Thanks again, Jason, for a great day out...

For anyone who has never been there...I looked at these images as if through your eyes...and nothing; not even the best pictures, can convey the beauty and magnitude of this place.
In a word: Go.
Thanks for all the comments, guys.
The trip back was harrowing, at best. I've never ridden in the falling snow, slush, freezing cold, hail, and thunder/lightning. Crazy stuff.
...all part of the experience, though...

The pics turned out pretty damn good Scar. It was pretty fun to do the ride up there and to be able to see the Grand Canyon while on the back of the bike, although it was a little cold.
The weather on the way back not fun to ride in, but like Scar said we were dropping in elevation pretty fast so we just slowed down to the speed limit and pressed on. The one thing that we were not able to get a pic of was the look on peoples faces as we rode by them as the snow, hail, and the rain was falling.

I am also glad that we listened to the very cute female park ranger and took the back way out of the park. We got to see some really beautiful scenery and the roads were not all beat up from the snow plows.
If anyone wants to take a trip up to the Grand Canyon just shoot me a message. I am always up for a trip heading north.
