it's not easy getting there, but the effort can be worth it to see some of the scenery and ride some of the roads in northeast Wyoming and western South Dakota. We just finished a 4 day ride. Our...

This has to be one of the less visited national parks, being so remote. Still, on this holiday weekend, the parking lot was full, and they cave tours were all booked. Still, I’m sure the crowds were...
Decided to ride some new roads this weekend. We got a hotel in Cedar City, and gave ourselves all day to get there. We took hwy 6 from Santaquin to Delta. Then hwy 50 across the Great Basin to Great...
Highway 64 in New Mexico between Taos and Chama. Great road, fast sweeping turns, and no one around. Beautiful forest, with no cabins or development at all. This is a stop towards the top, looking at...

We're back in Colorado for more motorcycle riding. We went from Moab to Ouray, via Naturita. I had never been on that road before, it was fun and had nice and varied scenery. Coming into Ridgeway and...
1142On motorcycle trip in Colorado this weekend. This is Independence Pass, between Leadville and Aspen (where the beer flows like wine). The road at the top of the pass is 12,095 feet in elevation.
We spent last weekend in Southern Utah. I was a little disappointed that the temperature in St George was about the same as SLC, but we had a good, relaxing time.
We had all day Sunday to come...
We are on a weekend getaway at Brian Head. Today we decided to drive Hwy 12 in the car. The rain may limit what we can do, but my wife has never been on the road before.
We stopped at the M Cafe...
We ended up taking part of The Cowboy Trail today. We didn't plan on it, we wanted to take Alberta 40 from Hwy 3 to Canmore, but we found out when we got there that it is a dirt road (why would...
We are on a motorcycle trip, and spent yesterday traveling from Cody, Wy to Great Falls, Mt. Neither city is a destination, but two roads between the two are.
WY HWY 296- Cheif Joseph Highway....
We rode Hwy 40 from Heber to Duchesne, and then took Wolf Creek Pass back (Tabiona to Francis/Kamas).
Wolf Creek Pass is one of the underrated roads in Utah. It is beautiful up there, and the...
Below is a pic of my brother near the overlook just outside of Escalante.
Also, if you are in the area, a hike to Lower Calf Creek Falls is a must.
Flying out to Knoxville, TN in a couple of weeks to buy and ride back a 2009 BMW R1200RT. I have been searching the country for a used one, and this seems to be the best out there. It has less than...
Springerville to Clifton, AZ
It takes a bit of doing to get to ride this stretch of road. My dad and I took our motorcycles down to the Arizona State game last year, and took the opportunity to...
One of my favorite rides is from Boise to Missoula. The ride from Boise to Grangeville is nice, it goes through beautiful McCall, and Hells Canyon is, umm, interesting. We took a rest near Hells...
Yes, beautiful and scary in places. There are some stretches that have no guardrail, and a 200 foot sheer cliff off the side. We did it in a nice loop from Durango to Telluride, Ridgeway, Ouray,...
Yeah, I'm really trying to figure out how to do it this year. I'm thinking mid-May might be good for decent temperatures and avoiding crowds. It seems that it is at least a 3 day trip, one getting...
One other that is on my list, but haven't gotten to yet is the Moki Dugway road (Hwy 261) in far southeast Utah. The part in the picture is dirt road, except on the corners of the switchbacks where...
Great idea for a thread. I ride motorcycles, an FZ-1 and V-Star 1100. I do sport touring on the FZ-1 with my dad and brothers, and cruiser touring with a group of my wife's friends that are mostly on...
