ride out west
Our trip out west to death valley didn't go as planned. We fought high winds, rain, snow hail and a tornado. So we cut it short after spending the night in Pagosa Springs we headed back home to try it again other day. here is a short photo show of some pictures we took.
Phil, hope you have better luck next time. My group is headed out west in July, hopefully we won't have snow. We'll be riding from KY to Pike's Peak, Million Dollar Highway, Zion, Mohab and the Four Corners.

Phil, better luck next time.

Always admire your videos. I plan on doing Death Valley in mid May before it gets to hot.

Check FOUR CORNERS before you go. As of now it is temporarily closed, no date for opening.
Heading that way next weekend to Sedona. I guess its not too early for Phoenix to reach that temperature. Going north from there. Hope it drops to 80s. Oh well, its the ride!

If you need anything on the way let me know, I'm about 30 miles south of I-10 at exit 302 (Ft Huachuca). Should be in 70's/80's during day this time of year. It is a gorgeous area.

I'm guessing that it will be, and Rocky Point MX. So may ride over to Santa Fe, and Taos areas. It is that time of year where it is either to hot or too cold, except Texas and was just there. I want to try to get a ride in before June. Always looking for ideas!

Thanks Ed for the offer. We will be heading north from Lordsburg, NM up to Sedona, Az taking US191.
My in-laws lived in Sierra Vista. I loved that area. Could be in the pool and watch it snow on top of the mountains. I used to live in Tucson, Az many many moons ago.

Maybe see you in Santa Fe, still not sure of plans except for getting riding in. This is our riding season before the heat. Have fun on highway 191.

I've been to Death Valley numerous times and JHMO, the best time to go is January to early April. The big problem is the the weather between you and Death Valley.
Guess I'll wait until next year Death Valley. It is time to head to higher elevations for cooler weather.

ROUTE CHANGE
Well, due do 100+ temps next week in AZ. We are rerouting. From North Rim of GC ,we will head back to Co. Work our way up to US 50 part way across Kansas Then down to OKC & 270 to the Talimena Scenic Drive. We have been to all the places in AZ at least 3 times,so no need to spend 5-6 days touring in 100+ temps.

Not good when you make plans for a trip, and mother nature will not help. Went to missouri a few years ago and the weather just keep getting hotter. Just gave up and went home.
