I'm still contemplating this, but hate to move my big trip up by 3 weeks to a month, because I don' want to get to Colorado to early and the high passes I want to travel are still closed or frozen. My trip plan was to head through the south, TX, NM, AZ, a little bit of Nevada, Utah, Colorado and if not too cold maybe Yellowstone and SD before heading back. I was planning on leaving the middle of May for 4 to 5 weeks. Do you think If i start from Horseshoe will it be too early?
Leaving after HMR could be a bit early, but really depends on snow totals this winter. I go out that way every year, but always in June or July. First time I rode the Sun road at Glacier it was the 3rd. week of July & the road only opened the week prior. Past 2 years have been little snow & fairly mild. It can still be pretty damn cold camping at elevation though.
If you'd like to do both & still start your trip late I'll throw out a couple options. Trailer here & leave your bike, trailer & gear here drive home. Drive back & leave your truck then start your trip. Return here load up bike & head home. Storage space is not a issue.
Option #2 would be ride out then leave bike & gear, fly home. Fly back here & then start your trip. We'll get you back & fourth to the airport. Allegiant has pretty cheap flights out of Orlando/Sanford. $50.00 - $75.00 one way into Little Rock.
Should you need tires while here, just get them shipped here & we can mount them. You wouldn't be the first to do so.
We'll do whatever we can to help out for one or both trips.
