I Rode Through A Colorado Canyon Unlike Any Other

Restless Mule

2,088 views

In this video I explore one of western Colorado’s more unusual and underrated roads on my 2023 Triumph Tiger 1200. It’s a ride filled with dramatic canyon scenery, winding pavement, and glimpses into Colorado’s past. Along the way, I make a stop at the Hanging Flume, view Drigg’s Mansion, and I stop at the geologic wonder in Unaweep Canyon. The scenery, twists, and extremely light traffic makes this an incredible motorcycle route.

Just enjoyed watching Full Throttle Hog visiting Colorado's Million Dollar Highway and now you spoil me with some more beautiful Colorado roads and scenery. It's been over 30 years since I visited that region of the US and I'd love to do it all again - thanks for taking the time to film part of another interesting and spectacular journey.

The locations you visit and give us a brief history about, makes me want to learn more about them. First one I searched was Unaweep canyon. Next will be the Mansion. Great Video!

Absolutely stunning, you just can't imagine the millennia of time it took ice & water to erode that canyon & now you're riding down it 🫡

I just rode this on Friday 9/25/26 for the first time during a solo trip out of ND. What a great ride and yes it was like having the whole canyon to myself. I couldn’t believe all the post flooding debris north of Gateway, would never want to get caught up in that.

That area is a great area to explore! It’s been a while since I was there, and I can’t recall ever learning about the mill’s history.

Awesome video! Maan, I haven't seen a Phillips 66 gas station in a while😲. Those layers of rocks was cool to see. I mean, literally no traffic😁. You picked the prefect time of day ride👍🏿. Beautiful views of the open land. Thanks for taking us along!!

have this on my list. Last couple trips to Co. were mid summer. Need to catch in spring or fall to avoid warm temps.

Phenomenal! I'll be riding 145 next September as I make my way along 90 towards Moab! I appreciate the "preview" of part of that! How are you enjoying your Marrakesh suit?

Have you ever ridden the Colorado National Monument outside Grand Junction, CO?

Waves and nods are not quite what you get in NJ.😅. BTW, I’ve been trying to figure out what bike you are riding. Thinking it’s the big Triumph from the dash.
