Awesome- let me comment on how long it will take. You mentioned you wanted to see the sites. I did 5788 miles last year. For many parts of the trip, from am start to pm stop I averaged less than 40 miles an hour. I stopped at historic markers or places that caught my interest. Finally, I had to get serious and concentrate on getting somewhere. The rest stops AND the sites can really cut into your time- but what the heck- that's what you're out there for! have fun

Quite a trip.

Seems like you are driving around some great mountain riding (generally missing the whole 4-corners area and the mountains of NM), but you can't do everything.

Any road trip like that is an adventure.

Post pics!

That you are. My wife and I ride every summer in the West and stay in the Park city area for a week or so. Looking to live out there as Miller Raceway is close by.

Hey, I enjoyed it - That's one of the important things about making posts, right?

Ok, so I just found out this is an old post. But before I found out, I made this map and was going to explain it. So, if anyone wants me to explain it and where to stop, let me know.

Park City would make a great base camp for riding. Sounds like a great summer vacation.

Your map didn't work for me.. just brought up the United States and no route. Try again..
