Taking a motor home and pulling a trailer with 3 street motorcycles.
Probably last 2 weeks of May
I realize that the weather MAY be fickle and may keep us at lower elevations
Mostly AZ, NM, CO and UT
The plan is to use the motor home as a home base and take 3 to 5 different day trips and returning to the motor home each evening
Looking for special rides that you have personally taken or at least know are trip worthy.
for example: The Million Dollar Highway, US550
Thanks
EDIT: I’M AWARE THAT COVID19 COULD DRASTICALLY CHANGE OUR PLANS

The road between Ouray and Silverton is dope...!
A ride through the Colorado National Monument = 👍🏻.
Cruise to the top of Mount Evens = 😎.
Every day on this side of the ground is a win.

Are we talking about, enduros?, cruisers? Dirt bikes? (Sport?) Tourers?
There are good areas for all.
Water, or a camelback full of ice would be good to have. If you plan on getting "out there" an "in reach" or similar could be a good investment...

Texline to Raton, NM is pronghorn country. It’s kinda pristine through there. Lotta volcanic activity in the past, and high mesa’s. I-40 between Amarillo and Oklahoma City is awful.

Interstate? I-70 west from Denver to Utah's scenery. I-40 to Amarillo to Raton NM Or I-40 to Albuquerque, then north(or south) I-40 doesn’t go to Raton, NM. You have to get off the Interstate at Vega, take 385 to Dalhart, then 87 to Clayton, then 64 to Raton. Drive that drive at least twice a year. Great back roads and great scenery. Be sure to visit the Volcano at Capulin and the Museum at Folsom. I-40 goes to Albuquerque. It’s a long ass boring drive.

I have thought about doing that same thing...
I recommend setting up in southern Utah...you can go about any direction and have a great ride...
Don't miss the Apache national forest ...there is a road ...don't remember the number but it's eastern edge of AZ north south road...
Won't go wrong anywhere in Colorado...

Alamogordo, Cloudcroft, Ruidoso, St Joseph’s Apache Mission in Mescalero, Sierra Blanca, Lincoln, all in NM. Nice trip in Southern NM. Be careful on the reservations, they have their own rules and regulations. Don't speed. But it's nice. Not sure if it will be open but there's a Casino on the reservation in Mescalero. Not sure on the spelling there. Frequently they have good entertainment. Maybe horse racing in Ruidoso. High Rolls and Cloudcroft are sure pretty.

Las Vegas to Laughlin and then through Oatman Az to Kingman.
Ash Fork AZ down through Chino Valley, up over Mingus Mtn., down through Jerome to Sedona.
Kanab, UT through Bryce and to Zion.
Silver City, NM up 180 through Glenwood - side ride to Mogollon - back to 180 and up through Reserve to Quemado.
Someone posted a mountain route through south central NM - very good advice.
Cortez, CO up to Moab, UT and then to Grand Junction, CO and up onto the Grand Mesa, down to Delta and Montrose.

I always thought a ride from the south rim around to the north rim of the grand canyon would be a cool ride.
