Scariest Rode

We rode the Big Dog thru Zion National Park and it was the scariest road I have ever be on but really beautiful at the same time.

Me and the Big Dog.
The road just drops off with no guard rails on it.

It had a 1.1 mile long tunnel on it and it wad really dark inside.

This is one of the look out in the tunnel but you could not stop in the tunnel.

Here the road turns and goes down fast.

This is the same road we are on. We are way up above it.


It was one of the best roads we have ever been on. It even beats the Tail of the Dragon. We are going to ride it again on our way to Bryce Canyon next week.
My new 1/2 chaps work great. I hated my old full chaps. It is a little cool up in the park because of the altitude. So you need to dress for that.

This is what the road looks like on a map. This is just the first half.
Zion Mount Carmel Hwy. Motor homes have to stop and wait until there is no oncoming traffic in the tunnel so they can go down the middle of the road. There is only 13 feet clearance. We would not be able to go thru with our rig. We are 13 feet 4 inches tall.
 
Live Happy and Always Go Big.

  1. Neat post. We rode our bicycles up to the tunnel. The down hill was great.
