The latest Motorcycle Classics has a cool article on Mesa Verde National Park in southwestern Colorado. Sue and I were there last year and it’s definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area. Nah, let me change that last sentence: Mesa Verde National Park is worth a visit all by itself, wherever you are. It’s only an 11-hour ride from Los Angeles on the freeways, although if I were going there again it wouldn’t be a freeway ride. There are just too many interesting things to see on the our secondary roads. I’ve been writing for Motorcycle Classics for about a decade now, and you can see more of the MC articles here.
Mesa Verde is by far my favorite National Park. It mixes both an ancient culture and incredible scenery, both for hiking and riding.
