Trip Planning

Rich and I had our first trip planning session. We expect more as time get closer. Here are some of our ideas to date. (Click on them to get more info).

Chief Joseph Scenic Highway-Bighorn Mountains
Sturgis to Devils Tower
San Juan Mountain Skyway
Mexican Hat to Bryce Canyon
Monument Valley

Oh yes, our first challenge is to get to the Sturgis bike rally in Sturgis, South Dakota for the last day of the rally on August 11th. We plan to make Rapid City, SD our home base for a couple of days. We will have 2 days to travel from Maryland and need to cover 1,600 miles. This will be the only sustained “in the saddle” part of the trip planned. For those not familiar with the Sturgis Bike Rally you may want to check out their “official” site here http://www.sturgismotorcyclerally.com/. I suspect this will be my first real photo opportunity. (Although it will not be of the landscape variety, I can’t pass it up.)

While in Sturgis we will also get out to see the following:

Mount Rushmore National Memorial
Crazy Horse Memorial
