First we will ride to Wicked West Harley-Davidson in Santa Fe for a short restroom and coffee stop at around 9:30am. After that we will make a gas stop at the old Camel Rock Casino. 

About 16 more miles until we arrive at Chimayo with its famous church that draws people from all over the world. There is a large parking lot with hard packed gravel and dirt.  We will spend about an hour visiting the Santuario de Chimayo area.

Then its back in the saddle and continue on the High Road to Taos. Getting back onto State Rd 98 is a little tricky so take your time and be safe. Heading north on 98 we will get the the intersection at State Rd 76 and turn right heading east. This will take us through numerous little towns eventually getting to the what the locals call the Rock Wall. At the stop sign we will turn left, this intersection does not give you much of a view for traffic coming from your right or left so take your time check for other vehicles and be safe. Another 20 miles give or take we will arrive at the Taos Plaza. We have a group reservation at The Gorge Bar and Grill located just off and north of the plaza.
