Norley, can get in to deep every now and then, she needs to respect Colorado's passes they can bite you in the ass.
Most of the high mountain passes aren't open till about the end of May, some are still impassable in early August, Norwood is not to far from our place in Colorado, Silverton is a kick ass place if you want to party. one of the best rides is La Plata it dead ends at a 1500' drop. turning around is a trip!

The drone footage she got while blasting around on Ed's side by side in the Mohave Desert (While rehabilitating her ankle ) was pretty cool too. She is the poster woman for tenacity. I hope she reaches her goal before Winter makes the roads impassable....
It would not surprise me to see her change over to studded show tires and adding out riggers to her bike though....
I'm definitely a fan. For those guys wanting a light weight adventure bike she makes a pretty good case for that Honda 300. Wear and tear items, no mechanical failures, at least while I've been watching since she was in Guatemala.
Fight fire, save lives, laugh in the face of danger.
I've never been through though passes in Colorado. But I've been up high in the Sierra Nevadas in late spring and seen snow as high or higher than the stop signs on the roads. Tried to make it into Kings Canyon in May and got blocked by a heavy snow fall and had to turn around. For an easterner, its hard to imagine the amount of snow that's still up high on the roads when its broiling hot down near sea level.
Here's another incredibly pleasant, easy-on-the-eyes, female lone travel vlogger I've been watching lately. Eva zu Beck. She's from Poland and is traveling through the US right now. This is the video she did in Texas after she came through the entry between Mexico and Texas at Laredo and got handcuffed and detained due to the Pakistan and Iraq visas stamped in her Passport. I thinks she's in Montana now. Very fun to watch. Her video where she watches her first rodeo, an NRA rodeo in Montana, is kind of funny given her reactions to kids riding sheep.
I remember riding up Independence pass in late July and seeing folks snow boarding. Something not right about strapping a snowboard to your motorcycle.

Red mountain can be real interesting, on the north side going down with snow and ice in the shade on the hair pens, your butt will suck the seat covers off. Rio7
When she was traveling through the Mojave last month, it was pretty easy to notice she wasn't melting or dying of heat stroke. I've been in the Mojave in June and July and it's like the surface of the sun. Somone on her Colorado passes video commented that the trees in Telluride were in bloom in her video but that they only bloom to about mid May and that they are fully green by this time of year. The trees in her video do look rather springish. So he surmizes she is nearly 3 months behind posting videos. She never says the date in her videos, only the time. I had thought this was more up to date than that. Still fun to watch. But now more like looking at someones "look what I did last summer" photos at Christmas time.
She's not afraid to run hard! Better biker than me.
Didn't listen to the whole vid, what bike is she running?
I believe it's the Honda 300.

For liberals and anarchists, power and control is opium, selling envy is the fastest and easiest way to get it. TRR. American conservative. Never trust a white liberal. Malcom X Current NRA member.
She ran about every stop sign in Telluride. (she does that all the time regardless of the locale) and while I am a fan of the journey her drama laced click baits are terrible.
Here's her recap of that trip:
