Ron, Thanks for the info. I'm looking at around the 8th of July for my start date for Colorado. If it too hot in southern Utah at that time I may just stay north of there.

I need some advice from some people that have riding time in Colorado & Utah. What's the best month (weather wise) of the year to tour the state of Colorado and Utah? I'm planning on about 2 weeks for this trip from GA.
