Two Days and 3 Divides: A Mindful Colorado Motorcycle Journey
from Peace Love Moto - Where Motorcycling meets Mindfulness · host Ron Francis
Send us Fan MailA motorcycle can cover distance fast, but that’s not the point of this ride. We’re chasing something quieter: a clear head, a lighter heart, and the kind of focus you only find when the road starts twisting and the mountains start towering. From Loveland, Colorado, I take you on a two-day, 350-mile Colorado Rockies loop designed for riders who love traffic-free roads, remote valleys, and the feeling of being small in the best way.We climb through the canyons and along the Cache la Poudre River, stop for a big breakfast at a local landmark, and roll into the wide-open stillness of Walden and North Park where fuel range and wildlife awareness actually matter. Then we cross Rabbit Ears Pass into Steamboat Springs, dig into the history behind the famous F M Light and Sons signs, and settle into pure Americana at the Rabbit Ears Motel before an easy evening by the Yampa River.Day two turns epic as we aim for Rocky Mountain National Park and Trail Ridge Road, the highest continuous paved road in America. We cruise the Kawuneeche Valley past willow marshes and the Colorado River headwaters, climb above tree line toward Milner Pass, and soak in views that stretch all the way toward Wyoming. We wrap with a coffee stop at the Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, sneak onto a lesser-known back road, and ride home with one simple reminder: we ride not to escape life, but to make sure life doesn’t escape us.
