Grand Canyon question

[bobnlaurie]

Wow, cabin fever has struck bigtime here in Minnesota. We just got back from Las Vegas where it was 78, sunny, and bikes driving all over the place. We were at Bass Pro Shop which is connected to the Silverton casino where I was gawkin at new boats. I went into the casino to find Laurie at the 3 card poker table and who sitting next to her but Paul Tuttle Jr. Mikey was a few feet away and Sr. was on his way to his room. Got a few pics and autographs......lots of fun. They were there doing a bike auction for charity. One of the bikes was a large mouth Bass.....unbelievable! My daughter had just turned 21 so we along with her boyfriend and my son were donating some $$ to Vegas. Anyway, my question is....has anyone here ever rode to the grand canyon? We are planning a ride there in June. Is it bike friendly? Any words of wisdom? (be nice)

Thanks

By the way, I just saw the forecast......6-9 inches of global warming for Sun-Mon

VERY VERY Friendly..We went there and were treated great everywhere we went. At the motels we stayed at they let us park where our bikes could be seen etc. The foreign tourist,Chinese,Japanese and such were totally in AWE of the motorcycles,even went as far as trying to communicate they would like their pictures made with us,we did, and by the bikes..Yes we let em sit on the bikes and get their pics taken..I guess with all the chaps and other garb on they thought we were Cowboys?? Anyway it was VERY memorable. Tom

We went to the north rim. The lodge is fantastic but also get around to princess point. Try to get there in the am.

Hey Bob, we are also going to the Grand Canyon, but in late August. Let me know how your trip turns out and what we need to plan for, if you would. I can hardly wait to get out and ride around here also. Later-

Go to the National Park service website to reserve room at the lodge or a campsite on the north rim. It is beautiful and very biker friendly. The road in is a 60 mile dead end at the canyon. Did it 4 years ago and look forward to going again.

Grand Canyon is a great ride. Don't miss Flagstaff, Oak Creek Canyon, Sedona, Jerome and Prescott.

When we went to the North rim we stayed at the cabins at Jacobs Lake. Much cheaper and a nice ride to the Grand Canyon. Be sure to get gas before you get to the entrance the gas is $$$ in the park. I like the north rim much better than the South Rim. We will be going in May. Rod
