Today was the first leg into Utah, I quit early and made camp because I need to write a résumé for something that just popped up. Yes, in my tent. My life is weird.

The Kershaw-Ryan State Park was pretty nice. Good facilities and nestled in a little valley. This morning I was up at 6 with the sun.

Once in Utah, I managed to find some sweepers and decent roads by detouring down UT-18 and going through Zion National Park. It's a really pretty place, and the roads are all punch-you-in-the-face red.

The views are great too.

Once again I wished I had a GoPro or something set to time-lapse, there's a 1.1 mile unfinished tunnel that the road goes through, as well as a few other tunnels/arches that felt unique to the area. But no place to stop for photos.

Utah has its fair share of unique geological features, though. Here's a random tower of geology I found.

Some of the views would just make you say "damn" out loud in your helmet, even though there's no one in sight.

Not a lot of pictures today, I was a little bit out of sorts. And my ass hurts.

But it's not all bad. Here's the view from my tent tonight.

Until next time…
