As a motorcyclist on a tour, one of the most common experiences is what we call “a race through the museum.” You ride through an incredible place, think “wow, this is amazing,” but you can’t stay long and promise yourself you’ll return someday. Most of us never do, and that lingering feeling of “I really need to go back there” stays with us. Before diving into the details, please note that the specific route listed below may be impacted by weather, snowpack, Forest Service or BLM restrictions, and other land-management decisions, so adjustments may be required to ensure safety and compliance.
