I rode to LRC again today and this time I rode the entire "roller coaster"

If you have never ridden the Canyon Rim drive, it is a real roller coaster with some of the steepest hills I have ever ridden on "paved" roads. The pavement is a little questionable in some places and the ideal bike for this road is an adventure or dual sport bike.

There is some nice scenery to enjoy if you slow down enough to look at it.

Still some color on the trees.

Looking at your pics, I can usually spot where they were taken, then remember the last time I was in that spot.
Thanks for taking the time to take the pics and posting them up.
