A buddy and I turned 250 on Saturday morning. The leaves are really turning. Beautiful ride. I took a few pixs, could have got better ones of the leaves. Our route map below. Lotta twisties. :ride:

Looks like a fun ride! I did the Nebo section about 2 weeks ago. The colors were changing down low, but the uppers were all still green..what were the colors doing this weekend? 2 good looking bikes also...I own one of each!

It sounds like the leaves haven't changed much from when you rode it. A few turning on top, but not many...lotta green. There were some beautiful sections (changing leaves) in Fairview canyon...wish I would have stopped there for pictures.

I was looking at doing the wolf creek to strawberry route this weekend, the colors are definitely changing up there. I was able to do mirror lake highway a few weeks ago..but it was cold up there!
Why aren't there more people posting in this forum..there really aren't a whole lot of utah motorcycle trip forums around..unless you're headed south!

Welcome to Bogley, Rare Bird! Sounds like we need more people like you to get out here and start posting some trip reports! :popcorn:

I just wanted to ask..did you guys stop at the Devils Kitchen? It's worth seeing..even if you're doing a car trip through the route!

I saw a sign for Devils Kitchen, but we didn't stop. I should have spent more time however I promised my wife I would be back...yadda, yadda. We do have a few posting trip reports in this section. We could use more...fo sho. We need to get together for a ride sometime. :2thumbs:
