Chinle to Shiprock

2 McR Points

Motorcycle Type : Enduro

This is a very nice ride. Canyon de Chelly is a spectacular site. You can ride up either side of it and pull off at the various view points. Spider Rock is an impressive site. The ride over the Chuska Mtns is twisty and fun with good views. I did the ride in October of 2016 and was glad to have warm riding gear. Chinle is not much--beggars are annoying. Be careful of livestock and other critters on the road in the Navajo Reservation.

A friend of mine suggested this route one of the times I rode from Tucson to Sturgis. I had had some idea what to expect from Google Earth, but it didin't do it justice! I got to the Buffalo Pass portion later in the evening as the sun was setting and saw the vibrant colors that the red rock provided. The road itself is fun and scenic, but keep your eyes open, there aren't a lot of road signs and the turn to Buffalo Pass is very easy to miss...i.e. I have yet to ride that road without having to turn back because I missed my turn.

Fun ride with a visit to Canyon de Chelly. Rode Navajo rd 11 and 12 to Shiprock. Nice tight turns up and down and great views.
