Any suggestions?
A buddy and I did the Copper Canyon thing last year. (Sweet trip, check out my report) Looking to stay in the states and do something. Probably a short trip (4-5 days) and prefer mostly off road stuff with some paved. We both have xr 650 L's. Any recos?

Where are you guys coming from? This will help guide you in the right direction for 4 or 5 days.

Four candles...
I'm currently staying in Monticello, Utah, and would say the Four Corners area is a great jumping off point for loads of good dirt and road riding!
To the north you have Moab, and all the red rock and canyon vistas you could ever want... to the east some of the best mountain riding in Colorado (although there is rather too much snow at this time of year of course)... to the south east there is some great desert riding in the top corner of New Mexico, and if you venture further south, the area around Silver City NM is fantastic too - both for trails and some awesome mountain highways! Due west of Monticello and Blanding in southern Utah there is some excellent riding too - some real long distance dirt roads and dozens of side trails, plus some beautiful paved back road byways too. I'll be heading across the top of Lake Powell/Glen Canyon area in the next couple of days on my way back to Nevada... xxx |
Are you going to go through Monument Valley, too? Canyon de Chelly is worth seeing, too...

I really need to come back to this region a little later in the year - at the moment anything over 8000ft is still covered with snow, or at least drifts on the roads/trails... I've had to turn back a couple of times these past few days, but fortunately have been rewarded with an equal if not better route to where I wanted to go - there is just so much here! xxx |
We would be coming from Memphis, TN. Thanks for any and all replies!
