2nd day

We woke this morning to over cast skies and chilly weather. After a nice breakfast at Denny's we headed north on I-25 and Trinidad, CO where we turned west on highway 12. The sky turned blue and the Aspen trees were turning bright yellow and gold. It made for a beautiful ride on nice winding blacktop. We followed a route that curved back south to Taos, NM where we stopped for lunch. There was a home coming parade that slowed the traffic in town but we managed to get through and find a parking spot for the bikes. A burger and beer later we were back on the road. The ride back looped us through Angel Fire and Eagles Nest. We went past the Boy Scout camp Philmont and the NRA Whittington Center. Along the last stretch of road was a herd of Buffalo and many Antelope.
