Copper Canyon 2013

[mrmiah]

I'm keeping my eye on this thread. I'm in SLC and was thinking about meandering south early next week. I've never ridden Mexico before and usually make up my plans on the fly, but Copper Canyon is my eventual goal. Hopefully I'll see some of you along the way.

It would be great to get any feedback, updated/expanded tracks, more POI's etc from you boys since I won't be making it to CC this year

Thanks Dajuice. I downloaded it. I love GPS data! About a year ago I downloaded an earlier version of this data from CWCs site.

If you ever need a change, you guys should consider coming to Durango for some off road riding. It's a little further south but the canyons are deeper and the mountains are bigger in DGO than in CC. It is much less developed too (Not that CC is overdeveloped). There are some amazing places here to off road ride.

Hope to see you.

The blue horse taking a break from riding Highway 16, perhaps the most consistently curvy road in North America?

I took the same entry point and routes you described on my Harley Last November. The GS wasn't ready to go when I was.

And if you check it out you will see not all things went as planned

Last time I checked Youtube had muted my soundtrack. I hate it when that happens! Here's a link to the accompanied video:
