[QUOTE="Goodman4, post: 1418002, member: 28933"] I really should still do a trip report on this one with pics because it turned out to be another great trip. I may, but I'll cram this summary in here for closure. We cut out going back across the bighorns and missed shell canyon and tensleep since we were hot and tired that afternoon. Instead we took our plan B route and came down the east side of Wyoming and hit the canyons on the north side of Denver and then used Winter Park as a home base for a couple days, riding RMNP, up Mt Evans and through several passes. My Evans was just as scary as Pikes Peak but we loved it. We had a blast with the climate changes - one day was mid 40s in the morning in the passes and 100 in the afternoon in Utah. We got snowed on in a brief storm in RMNP and it started hailing just as we pulled into the Beartooth Lodge in Montana. Our big surprises were the Unaweep Canyons on 141 in western Colorado (Redfish was right again) and the views from 191 near Farson Wyoming. Riding the beartooth pass for the second and third time only made me want to come back for a fourth time. It's still my favorite road. Actually the biggest surprise for my wife was the speed bump before going up lookout mountain near Denver. There was a sign that said bump but it didn't really look like a speed bump and I didn't slow down much. It was really more of a ramp than a bump.
