The Grand Canyon was high on my list of “places I must see before I die.” This past spring, I finally checked the Grand Canyon off my list. I took a week long motorcycle road trip to northern Arizona with a few of my close friends. It only cost us $12 apiece for seven-day passes. The sights we saw were worth every penny.

When we had gotten our fill of the natural wonder, we threw on our motorcycle gear and made for historic Route 66. With my leather motorcycle vest and old school goggles I felt like I had traveled back in time- especially when we got to the original two lane sections of the highway. The nostalgia continued at the charming 1950s era Wigwam Motel in Holbrook, where we spent the night.
