Colorado and New Mexico Motorcycle Road trip is perhaps the best way to discover the back roads, small towns, and friendly people of these states. For the first 3 days, we rode with about 30 friends to Florence for the August weekend. Then for the next 8 days, three Harley-Davidson motorcycles, four of us — me, my husband and another couple — leathered up and pulled on our motorcycle boots for a 1,400 mile road trip.

That moment when you realize that you are literally on top of the world riding on Trail Ridge Road in Rocky Mountain National Park at 12,000 feet — this is bucket list worthy. One of Colorado’s most popular national parks, once you breathe in the fresh (and thin) air, experience its subalpine and alpine world, you’ll savor this memory for years to come. Yes, your motorcycle can take you places and Rocky Mountain National Park is one of those places.
Why ride in Colorado? When you crave the rush of wind on your face, nothing separates you from the outdoors when you’re on your motorcycle in Colorado. One of my favorite Colorado Motorcycle Ride is the Snowmass to McClure Pass scoot.
Colorado may be a land-locked state, but it offers more than 8,000 miles of rivers and over 2,000 lakes for your angling pleasure. And I’m pretty lucky to live here where I can drop my line mere minutes from my home when fishing in Stagecoach State Park, one of many fishing “holes” in Steamboat Springs, Colorado.
On a road trip to North Platte, Nebraska with my BFF, we discovered the forest and reconnected with Mother Nature in the most unlikely place — the Buffalo Bill Ranch State Historical Park & Recreation Area.
