The Saga of Sandy and Daryl's Tires

The saga of Sandy and Daryl's tires (see first picture). Started life in Indonesia, or possibly Taiwan.Traveled across the ocean to Germany or more likely, to the U.S, where they were shipped from California via Denver to Maryland in the suburbs of D.C. The tires followed Sandy and Daryl to Page, AZ for a great bicycle adventure. Sandy and Daryl left Page before the tires arrived. Next stop for the tires was Bryce Canyon National Park, but Sandy and Daryl had already left Bryce Canyon National Park. What to do? Rumor said that their was a North Rim Post Office at the Grand Canyon, and sure enough, there is (see second picture). The tires arrive at the Grand Canyon, enjoy the view and wait for Daryl to pick them up. Daryl does pick them up. Tires arrive at Sandy and Daryl's campsite (see first picture) on Day 8 of the journey where they are placed on Daryl's bike (see third picture) to complete their great adventure.

Descending into Zion

Robert shared this video he took of the descent into Zion Canyon on July 29. A spectacular place! Select the HD quality version if your network speed can support it.

Southern Utah/Grand Canyon Trip

John, Daryl, Dean, Paul, Sandy, and Mike. Leaving Red Canyon on the way to Cedar Breaks.

It was around 40 degrees when we left Cedar Breaks for Zion, but the sun was shining and we were descending from over 10,000 feet to less than 4,000.

On the way to the Grand Canyon on highway 67. A intense fire swept through this area in 2006, and what was a pine forest is now becoming an aspen forest (the green plants in the background). 

Southern Utah/Grand Canyon - July 23 - August 3

We had a great trip with wonderful companions, beautiful scenery, and lots of food. And we did some cycling too! 600 miles over nine days with two rest days (for hiking and staying off the bike) at Bryce Canyon and the Grand Canyon.

On highway 67 into GCNP.
