Southwest Utah Motorcycle Tours & Trips

The combination of winding canyon roads through mind-bending scenery and throttle-opening stretches through high desert plateaus make southwest Utah a high-five location for motorcycle trips and tours.

Zion National Park is an obvious choice for touring. Ungodly summer traffic, however, can dim the fun, especially when entering the park from the east via the Zion-Mount Carmel Highway. To avoid the crowds, yet still experience Zion's awe, consider pointing your bikes up Kolob Terrace Road. Located west of the park in the town of Virgin, Utah this winding road dissects the park as it ascends to some of Zion's highest reaches.

Kolob Canyons Road, located directly off of Interstate 15, just south of Cedar City, also rates high for touring. This short, winding canyon road accesses the Kolob Canyons, the park's least visited area.

Outside of the park consider Route 18. Located just northwest of St. George, it juts through a high desert plateau, allowing you to the let the wind rip through your hair. Along the way it passes Snow Canyon State Park and through the Dixie National Forest.
