Day 3, Kanab UT (Miles logged 1712)

The ride from Phoenix AZ to Kanab UT was enjoyable, even with heavy, weekend traffic in the Sedona area. For days three and four I will have Jeff Whisler, retired Topeka police officer, motorcycle division, riding with me.

Leaving Phoenix we quickly left the heat of the desert floor as we wound our way into the mountains through Yarnell,  Prescott, Jerome and Sedona.  We then made our way around the eastern edge of the Grand Canyon and along the north rim.

The mountain vistas were stunning in the morning sunshine. The majesty of natural formations and the cutting erosion of the Colorado River sure makes one feel small.  It’s truly awesome to think God spoke such massive beauty into existence.

Ending mileage for Day 3 was 1711.9

We have an even greater experience in store for tomorrow. I can’t wait!
