Rocky Mountain High (Moab to Carbondale) Colorado

A couple of the things I love about this bike trip is the fact that the scenery can change dramatically in a matter of 10 minutes and the other is that the company is so good. We have a lot of laughs during the day whether it be at some ones expense or not or how we are handling driving on the right side of the road but thats another story.
We left Moab at 7.30am and did a loop through another National Park before heading to the Colorada border where we took our now customary border shots. While taking shots Christine found our first Rattlesnake but it was only the skin.
As we progressed in to Colorado the scenery gradually changed and we started climbing again towards the Gunpowder Ridge Ski Resort. The temperature drops quickly as we get higher and we ended up at 10,850 feet and the scenery was quite stunning.
The rest of the ride in to Carbondale was motorcycle heaven and we arrived in town after 11 hours on the road.
We finished the day off by having dinner at a fabulous American diner across the road.
Here are some more photo's that we took today.
