Ok, day 3 done. In Torrey, UT now. A few pics from today.
More UT12..
Burr Trail, which was awesome!! Entrance to the slot canyon…
end of the slot canyon…
yes, my bike is leaning WAY over. Rookie mistake… I parked on a side slope, and almost couldn’t right it. Had to remove the top case and tank bag. I stood to the side and used the grab handle to right it and slowly walk it to a flat spot. Man was I nervous!
At the peak of 12, about 9,400’…
Tomorrow’s plan is more Utah, ending in Fruita, CO.

It is hard to take a bad pic out here for sure. I did miss that little slot. As you say, next time. Thanks for the Burr Trail tip, it was well worth the hour!

Started in Torrey, UT this morning. A few pics along 95, it’s another great ride…
Turned off 95 onto 261 to go down Moki Dugway. Boring first pic but that’s the beginning…
Took one pic from the Moki. That’s the road I end up on…
I headed up to Moab to take 128 along the Colorado river…
The Dewey Bridge that used to cross the Colorado river on the north end of 128…
In Fruita, CO now. Colorado National Monument, 141 and 550 are my plans tomorrow, ending up in Pagosa Springs.
