Snapshots from Colorado


The highlight of Day 3 was discovering one of the best highways for a motorcycle ride in the U.S., Highway 141 in southwestern Colorado. You carve sweeping curves for about 50 miles between red-rock canyons and towering mesas, such as this one at Gateway.

Soon after entering Colorado from Utah, we stop at Bedrock Cafe. It was barely past eight in the morning, thus, the historical establishment was not open, but it made for a nice photo op.

Greg came across a pair of antlers which he and E.B. mount on the rear of Greg's Road King Classic.

Highway 141 north and south of Gateway is one of the finest roads to ride in the U.S., with sweeping curves that are a joy ro ride as fast or as leisurely as you wish.

Mule deer welcome us to King Creek Ranch, a 7,000-acre ranch owned by six families including the Chesters. E.B. purchased 750 acres in 1980 to start assembling the land located near Vail.
