Ride Utah!

With 84,000 square miles of scenic wonder-encompassing the grandeur and majesty of alpine mountain ranges to the rugged splendor of the colorful southwest desert-Utah is certainly one of the greatest motorcycle touring destinations in the world. Home to five national parks, seven national monuments and forty-three state parks, an epic adventure awaits riders in this biker’s paradise. Dave Magdiel brings his years of experience touring the American West and his knowledge gained exploring Utah as few others have, to create a book for the seasoned rider or the touring novice alike.
