Crossing Utah: The Mighty 5 National Parks Adventure.
With the Rockies behind me, I set out to conquer Utah and its legendary Mighty 5 National Parks. The adventure kicks off with a brutal crossing of the Las Sal Mountains—headwinds, endless climbs, a dark freeway, and a miracle stealth camp to survive the night.
From there, Utah takes hold. I team up with friends Jason and Cooper to hike Arches, wander the vast overlooks of Canyonlands, and dive deeper into the Needles District. Northbound through Moab, Green River, and Hanksville, I push on through freezing nights, UFO-like desert landscapes, and the jaw-dropping beauty of Capitol Reef.
The road only gets wilder—icy camps at Dixie National Forest, a surreal ride across Scenic Byway 12, and finally, the mind-blowing spires of Bryce Canyon. The journey reaches its peak with a windswept ride into Zion National Park, completing my dream of seeing all five of Utah’s iconic parks in one unforgettable ride.
This is Utah like you’ve never seen it—raw, wild, and otherworldly.

From Georgia to the Pacific: 4,300 Miles Across America on Two Wheels - S4 E39.
After 4,300 miles, 17 states, and 4 months of riding, I’ve finally made it to California’s west coast. This fifth crossing of the United States began in Georgia, winding through the southern states—except for a detour back into the Rockies—and then chasing my dream ride: crossing the entire state of Utah to explore all its incredible national parks. Those days in Utah will stay with me forever.
The final stretch was all about Death Valley National Park and its Panamint Range before reaching the Pacific, closing the book on another unforgettable tour, but not the last—there are still so many routes calling my name. Stick around for more adventures on two wheels.
