    I too followed " As the Magpie flies" recommendation. Enjoying your report. I rode a bunch of that area back in 2016 on my Honda NC700x and then took my wife back there in the car the next year. On my bike, I did a big loop, Chama, Durango, Ouray, Cortez, North Rim, Zion, Bryce Canyon, Arches, Canyonlands, Black Canyon of the Gunnison, Rocky Mountain National Park and back home to NC. Wife and I rode the trains in Chama and Durango. Great experience. I want to go back and ride some places that I missed. Have fun, be safe.

    I am enjoying your videos and the great job you do do in presenting them. You dont spend the whole time on one subject , the music is great , one of you always shows us a good camping meal and the two of you are a great example of what life is about . My Dad grew up in Peonia Co , and the whole Gunnison Park area . I enjoy the ride from Cortez to Ridgeway to Montrose also ....! A good campground suggestion is in Montrose , showers and cabins also .. cedarcreekrv.com
