I'm thinking of making this a side trip between doing the Million Dollar Highway in Colorado and heading back east to New Mexico, but from what I've researched the roads through the Tribal Park itself are dirt and fairly rough, so thought I'd see if anyone here has ridden through the park on a motorcycle. I'm thinking a dirt road in that area is probably pretty sunbaked by the end of June - most likely easier than gravel, I've ridden offroad and my bike (FZ1) handles pretty well off the beaten track. Also I'm not camping this trip, so the bike won't be loaded down with camping gear - even so I've never bottomed out and I've ridden some pretty rough roads while camping, the bike is pretty high and I'm not very heavy.
Most of the websites seem to recommend taking one of the jeep tours offered, and I wouldn't mind that if I were taking the whole day, but I like the idea of controlling my own time. Also its hard to prebook something like that, because you never if you are gonna make the time you hope.
Basically Saturday staying in Ouray, Sunday riding the San Juan Skyway and area, ending up in Cortez, Monday to Monument Valley, Utah then back east to Albuquerque.
