I was just over your way yesterday.  We are staying in Hurricane UT.  170 miles each way and the wind on the way over was really bad.  My first time to Hoover Dam and Las Vegas.   Neat place.

Take a ride up to Monkey Mesa at night.  http://michael1111.blogspot.com/2007/10/hurricane-mesa-supersonic-test-track.html

From my 2004 ride diary

The first place I head to is the cluster of buildings I had seen on Day 1 precariously perched at the edge of a mesa. The road north out of Virgin is a pretty well made blacktop with telegraph poles running alongside. A small water tower becomes visible as I ride up the edge of the mesa. All of the buildings seem to be in good repair including the precipitously placed mobile home. Hurricane Mesa tops out at about 1,500 feet above the small town of Virgin below. The single-track road scraped out the side of the rock face is in fairly good condition and there are a couple of pullouts, which I use to take in the view below. The mesa is part of a half amphitheatre of rock stretching around to my left as I face the valley below. Once I reach the top of the mesa I’m running alongside a barbed wire topped, chain link fence and then a red and white sign proclaiming “GOODRICH / HURRICANE MESA SITE. NO ENTRANCE TO UNAUTHORISED PERSONNEL” is posted to the side of the road.

2 new patches in the blacktop each side of the single-track road lend to the idea that there are pressure plates embedded. I toy with the idea of riding between the patches but decide any hassle isn’t worth it.

I decide that I’ll return later that night to the top pull out which will be light pollution free so I can view the stars again.
