Solo Motorcycle Camping Trip in the Colorado Mountains on the Harley-Davidson Pan America

Today I’m taking y’all on an adventure into the Colorado Rocky Mountains for one last motorcycle camping trip of the season! Fall is a great time to explore the mountains and enjoy some of the best motorcycle rides in Colorado.

I’m riding a 2021 Harley-Davidson Pan America 1250 Special in this video, courtesy of @harleydavidson. This is my first time riding an adventure bike! Be sure to watch the entire series to see my entire motorcycle trip!

Places we’ll see:
🏔 Boreas Pass: This narrow, 22-mile unpaved, high mountain pass takes you over the continental divide in the footsteps of Colorado’s mining history. Boreas Pass was once a wagon road used during the Colorado Gold Rush. From 1872 to 1937, it served as the Nation’s Highest Narrow Gauge Railroad, and was even home to the nation’s highest post office!
🏔 Buena Vista: This little mountain town in the Arkansas River Valley is near plenty of BLM land, making it a great destination for a night of dispersed motorcycle camping.
🏔 Independence Pass: Part of the Top of the Rockies Scenic & Historic Byway and one of 26 designated Scenic Byways in Colorado. This is one of the BEST motorcycle rides in Colorado!
🏔 Leadville, Colorado: Leadville, the highest incorporated city in the United States, is one of my favorite places to stop in the mountains. From its history to its local eateries, there are plenty of reasons to come here. Read my full Guide to Leadville on the blog: https://ridetofood.com/things-to-do-in-leadville-colorado/
