Motorcycle trip to Mogollon Rim, AZ (pics)
 

Here's a few pics from my trip this weekend up to the Mogollon Rim...roughly in central AZ and about 7k feet up...for those interested, here's a plagiarized description of the area...

"Stretching from just southwest of Flagstaff to the White Mountains of eastern Arizona, the Mogollon Rim marks the southern edge of the Colorado Plateau in Arizona. The long escarpment, thousands of feet high in some areas, extends for nearly 200 miles across central Arizona. Average elevation of this undulating rim and plateau country is about 7000 feet. The Mogollon Rim is known for its stands of ponderosa pine, which comprise the largest ponderosa pine forest in the United States."

a pit stop on the way up and a pic of the transportation:
