VITAMIN D TOUR 2023
April 25th - May 2
Carol and I are excited to share some of the best roads and scenic places in Southern Utah and Northern Arizona. We will fly in and out of Phoenix, AZ and depart from Mesa Desert Winds Harley Davidson. Expect temps to be in the 70s-80s. We will be in the desert and colder or warmer temperatures can occur. Please be prepared with warm ride gear as well as summer gear with a cooling vest.
New to the Vitamin D? This is a fun way to get to know HOG members. You pay for your shipping to Lone Wolf HD. You will need to get your bike to Lone Wolf approximately 2 weeks in advance (exact information will be provided closer to the trip date). Bikes ship fully packed, so no check in luggage. You carry everything you bring on your bike – pack light and tight. Airline flights as you choose or use our recommended one, just be sure to be at Mesa Desert Wind HD for departure (TBA). Hotels, a block list will be provided via email with a group rate, be sure to follow the instructions carefully. Gas, food etc on you. Some Hotels will provide breakfast. Lone Wolf, HOG, or trip road captains do not charge a fee for the trip. We hope to go to the Slot Canyons near Page Az and the anticipated cost is $180 per person. You will want to obtain a National Parks Pass for this trip. Follow this link for more information. https://www.nps.gov/planyourvisit/passes.htm.
This year we will head up to the high desert, through Monument Valley to Moab, UT. We plan to visit Petrified Forest National Park, Arches National Park, Canyon Lands, Natural Bridges National Monument, Bryce Canyon, Zion National Park, Vermillion Cliffs and upper Slot Canyon. Daily miles average between 200-350 miles and we try to stay close to the posted speed limit. Faster riders are usually in the front and those who take more time go towards the back. Ride your own ride! Gas is available every 110 miles. Lone Wolf provides us with a chase vehicle and a tech for bike issues. HOG Road Captains assist with this trip and we will provide HD maps via USB stick at time of departure.
