Well, it may be Father's Day, but what better way to celebrate than getting the GoldWing gassed up and ready to roll! We headed to Scofield, then up over the mountain towards Fairview. The temperatures just kept dropping as we climbed through the canyon so at the summit, it was time to pull over and add a layer of warmth.
We continued on to Mount Pleasant then off the main highway to head west to start the Nebo Loop, heading back towards Payson. The road was in very good condition, with lots of things to see around every corner. We stopped at the summit and enjoyed scoping Mt. Nebo, still covered in snow. There were quite a few waterfalls cascading down the steep cliffs of the mountain. Keith is positive he saw a Mountain Goat but we couldn't see well enough through the small binoculars we carry on the bike to be sure. Let us just say that "it" was a very different shade of white than the surrounding ice and snow on that particular slope.
This route will definitely be on our "Do Again" list when the Autumn colors start. It is a very enjoyable ride, whether on a motorcycle or in a car! Good times by Mt. Nebo!!
Oh, I want to ride down there when the leaves turn!
