Last week Nikki and I started off our riding season with a trip to some of our favorite areas in western Colorado and into Arizona. From Colorado Springs we went over to Grand Junction and then headed south down the western edge of the state. Some of our favorites there are Gateway, Telluride, Ouray, Silverton, and Durango. From there we dropped into Arizona for a short way and then went north into Utah to catch Mexican Hat. Heading back south then took us through Monument Valley and back into Arizona. We went on from there to Sedona Arizona. That ended the touring part of the trip and we met up with "Run for the Wall" in Williams. We rode the rest of the way back to Colorado with them. That part of the trip took us through Albuquerque, Santa Fe, Angle Fire and then home into Colorado. It was really a great trip this year, just shy of 2300 miles. I'm posting a few photos to wet your appetite and hope to have all the photos from the trip posted in our gallery soon.

Outside of Grand Junction - One of those photos that look like a painting.

Gateway Colorado - There's a beautiful canyon there with incredible rock formations. There's a very nice and secluded hotel also with a car museum.

Ouray Colorado - One of the highlight areas of the Million Dollar Highway (HWY 550).

Monument Valley - A distant view.

My Mom always told me it's not safe to pick up hitchhikers but sometimes you gotta take some risks!!!

Sedona Arizona - One of the best areas of the southwest.

Our neighbors are making a loop from Tuscon including Sedona and into Utah and Montana.  Plan to ride Sedona in the next few years - have been there but not on the bike.

Thanks for the pics! Makes me wish I had never left CO back in 86, used to do that same ride but on a much older, smaller, leaky scooter (FXE).
