Thought I would share a few vacation photo’s with ya’s. I was just looking at them this morning reminiscing and thought you all would like to see them.
I went to Colorado to ride in the mountains with a few friends like 3 years ago now. We drove out straight thru in my friends Motor home towing an enclosed trailer behind with the bikes inside. We spend 7 days out there ridding every day, all day. You wanna talk about Monkey butt!
I could go into a long tale of the adventures had and lessons learned but I think I will let the pictures do the talking with a few brief descriptions. Enjoy.
We stayed here for 3 days I think. It’s called Taylor park and off-road bikes are more than welcome here. Plated of non. No one seems to care.

We went thru a few high altitude mountain pass’s. Bikes have to be re-jetted to run at these heights (as do my lungs).

The scenery from the top of some of these mountains is nothing short of breathtaking.

Lots of nice water crossings from the runoff on the mountains. That water is COLD. But because of the dry climate you dried off fast.

As we went there over the 4th of July holiday you would think the weather would be great, which it was for the most part. But at the top of some of those pass’s it was still a little….. shall we say cold.

We had a few challenges to overcome here and there. But teamwork and ingenuity usually overcame.

This is what a lot of the trails were like, pretty demanding stuff. Try ridding 80 miles of this a day for 7 days straight.

How would you like to live here??

Of all the vacations that I have taken with family and friends in the past, this is by far one of the best ones I have ever taken. And because we pooled our money and camped in the Motorhome it cost next to nothing to do.
