I will be making my first big trip this summer since buying my Super Tenere last year. I am going TDY to Dugway Proving Grounds, UT for the first week of August. My CO has agreed to let me take leave en route instead of flying with the team so I can ride to Utah from Central Texas (Leander). I will have approximately 4 days to ride from TX to UT. We will be there training for 5 days, and then I will have 5 days or so to ride back. I've ridden TX, LA, AR, and OK, but never NM, CO, AZ or UT.
I'd like to avoid major highways as much as possible, although I don't mind taking them to get out of TX and maximize my time out of state. I would like to ride as much dirt as I reasonably can, with the caveats that I am still fairly new to off-road riding, I will most likely be going solo, and I do have to actually train when I get to UT, so I can't ride anything too technical or dangerous. I will most likely not camp, although that may change. Other than that, I'm wide open. Help me plan a route!
