I worked a bunch of OT last year and banked the time as comp time. Now I'm cashing in. I'm going to leave mid-May and return mid-June. I have finished the route sort of. It is in two pieces because the one file kind of screwed up. http://www.motowhere.com/maps/route/Spring-Trip http://www.motowhere.com/maps/route/23894 I will be camping along the way with the occasional hotel. Some of the places I plan to stop include: Painted Desert big hole in the ground meteor site near Winslow Hoover Dam Grand Canyon Horseshoe Bend Antelope Canyon Zion Cedar Breaks Bryce Canyon Grand Staircase Canyonlands Glacier Black Hills Badlands I am still fully open to changing the route. In fact, I don't expect to stay on route once the trip begins. If people have suggestions, please let me know. I've never really been out west before (once to Boulder for bicycle riding). The list above is primarily generated from others' suggestions. Please provide input for other parks to hit, roads to ride, places to eat, etc. I'll be sure to report my ride as I do it.
Here is my thread, may be in Utah around the same time... or not... http://advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=855031
Funny... I'll be heading to Asheville, NC in mid-May to explore the Smoky Mountains until mid-June. It's funny how that works... isn't it? Anyway, safe travels... I'm positive you'll enjoy every minute of it.
I'll be sure to wave as we pass each other heading home. I get to ride the Smokies anytime I want (and do often). Let me know if you want any pointers or tips on where to go.
