Crossing into Utah the landscape changed drastically. We rode for miles through open plains as far as we could see. The climate also changed and we were hit by hot air – it felt like someone had turned on a hairdryer! The next morning we got up at the crack of dawn – really exited…Continue Reading “Moki Dugway, Valley of the Gods & the Grand Canyon”
We crossed into Colorado and after stopping in Steamboat Springs and buying a new tent, we headed further to Ouray.

Still mind blown from the Dempster Highway adventure we set off from Dawson City direction south to Whitehorse. Compared to the previous days the ride was rather monotone through what seemed like eeeendles forests, with the occasionally view in between. Adding to this it was raining. We still enjoyed the ride, stopping for coffee on…Continue Reading “Whitehorse, black bears, rain, glaciers and lava beds”
