My son, daughter and I went riding around Sothern Colorado a couple weeks ago (before the wildfires). Here's a few pictures.

Ready to go

Going up Skyline Drive just outside of Canon City

My son coming up Skyline Drive behind us on his Sportster

More Skyline Drive

Highway 50 along the Arkansas River
Image

Stopped on the Continental Divide - Wolfcreek Pass
Image

Looking down off of Wolf Creek Pass
Image

Our Timeshare in Pagosa Springs, we met my riding buddy from AZ there
Image

Day 2 riding towards Taos New Mexico (yes, New Mexico is a State for those who don't know)
Image

New Mexico near Taos - it's what I picture when I think of NM
Image

Taking a break from riding
Image

My son on my Goldwing. The sportster was killing his back

Me on the Sportster and my buddy on his Ultraglide
