Headed to Sturgis late July, before the rally. We have been going many years there and always like to take side trips. We have about 6 days for a side trip and must end back in Sturgis.

In past years we have done Yellowstone, Glacier NP and some of Colorado, so probably will not do Montana or Wyoming (as a destination).

This year considering more of Colorado, possibly out towards Moab UT, but not set in stone.

Looking for suggestions where to ride in CO/UT and if you guys think 6 days is doable. I know I can hit Loveland in 1 day, so that is kindof a rough starting point.

My Colorado experience is mostly Estes Park and 70 west toward Glenwood Springs, but that's it.

Thanks for any suggestions!

 

Ride down to Ouray, through Silverton, Durango, Cortez and back up the other side of the San Juans to Telluride...it's like 270 miles and called the San Juan Skyway....beautiful ride. With 6 days, you could do the Moab area too.

We did all this in 6 days last year.....

We hit Estes Park, Mt.Evans, Pikes Peak, Royal Gorge, Garden of the Gods and more along the way.

 

Don't know much about Co other then passing through. Utah is great riding though and 6 days should be plenty of time to sight see. Moab and south some of the hwys are; 72, 89, 12, 14, 22 are all in & around the parks

 

Now you got me thinkin! Great looking route, need to check it out more tonight, thanks.

Estes Park, Mt Evans and Hwy 50 many other great rides. One thing I will say in July the mountains get some mean pop up thunder storms so be ready
