We left Calgary Wednesday, April 15th at 7:00pm and drove through the night and hit the Zion Harley Dealership in Washington Utah, 2:30pm - 1,300 miles in 19 1/2 hours. Mark needed an oil change and I opted to put on new rubber. Why we didn't do this in the weeks before leaving Calgary is beyond me, maybe it's all part of the annual ride experience. The guys at Zion HD were great to us last year and they were great again this year. They understand service and how to ensure 'out of town' riders feel special. The one thing that's great about owning an HD, if you're from out of town and on a 'road trip' your service needs are prioritized at most dealerships - 'Front of the Line'.
The ride was relatively smooth, but as you'll see from the pictures, we had snow on and off through to south of Salt Lake City. The plateau that you're on in southern Utah is 5000 - 6000 ft and the temperatures hovered around zero until we finally came down to 3000 ft just outside of Washington, Utah.
A few pictures of the ride down. A great new dealership in the south end of Salt Lake is a 'must stop and see' if you're passing through - Tim Panogos HD.

Have fun boys and keep the little fellas warm. Hopefully you get out of the snow before you get on the bike. Love Heidi
I'm not clear on if you rode down or if you hauled the bikes on a trailer down?
