Colorado - Rocky Mountain Scenic Tour

Do you like mountains, twisties, altitudes of up to 14,000 feet, snow capped mountains...then this ride is for you. We will meet in Colorado Springs, CO and begin the ride in the morning on May 30, 2025. The ride ends in Denver, June 4th at 2:00 pm. Some are flying and renting bikes, some are trailering their bikes, and some are riding their bikes to and from Colorado.

Bring your National Park Pass if you have one

In addition, some parks have a timed entry pass:

1. Timed entry pass for the Arches in Moab. If we follow the route I posted we will need to enter The Arches on the morning of June 2nd. There are around 60 tickets for the 7am - 8am time slot. Go to the Recreation.gov website and then go to the Arches National Park page and purchase their timed entry ticket. Tickets will be gone soon.
2. Pikes Peak - May 30. The tollgate for Pikes
   peak is approximately 6 miles from our hotel. The first time slot is 8:00am to 10:00am and there are 197 tickets available at this time. We should plan on getting in as
   Close to 8:00 am as we can as we have a fairly long day with all the stops for pictures of rocks and snow. 😀. The timed entry pass is $2.00. We also need an Admission ticket
   That costs $10.00. Both tickets can be purchased at the same time. You can purchase more than 1 timed entry ticket and more than 1 Admission ticket when you are buying your tickets. You must have one timed entry ticket and 1 Admission ticket for each motorcycle. https://coloradosprings.gov/pikes-peak-americas-mountain/page/tickets-and-reservations Let me know if you have questions. Need to get the info out to those attending. I think there will be tickets available even as we get closer to our arrival. Don’t know if you can purchase tickets at the site.
