Canyon or Mountain Run Locations??

Just wondered if any of you guys knew of any good canyon and or mountain runs that are closer to the east side of WA.

On that note, we need to try and get a canyon run meet going!!

Thanks in advanced for any ideas or replies.

Thanks for the suggestions although I don't know if I am up for a trip to Portland just yet. My idea is to possibly have a "meet half way" canyon run. Maybe someplace mid WA thats not too far for anyone.

I have done some searching on motorcycle forums and sites to see if they would have some suggestions and I did find this site that might be helpful in picking a meeting location etc.

Again, open to more suggestions!!

Will do, been a little busy the last couple of days but will try and buckle down and look over some areas that might be of interest over the weekend then maybe have a poll to cast everyone's vote or something.

As always, I am open to suggestions!

Okay, i have the spot picked out to do it!!!! Lets start in soap lake and make our way to Coulee Damn. It is a nice canyon/lake run and there are plenty of parks to stop by along the way. Lets pick a date and get this going!

Not a bad choice koda. Pretty central location. I did a close up on the road and it looks like the views will be nice but I was hoping for more twists and turns.

This should be good for a day cruise. Lets see how many people we can get together and what the best time will be for everyone because I am down

Obviously I think a weekend would work best. My vote is for Saturday Oct 11th (work and weather permitting). We could all meet at John's Foods (115 Daisy St S Soap Lake, WA 98851) at 12pm then cruise out to Coulee from there.

Seems well thought out. Agreed on the twists and turns! We could take a little more time to plan with this and maybe go a little further west? Towards the mountains.

A weekend will be good to take the trip. This should help everyone that is planning to come, but we should stretch the date out a little to accommodate for other peoples planning. Its to short of notice for only three weeks away. Maybe we can plan for the 18th or 25th? This will keep us in the "nice weather" time frame, but still have the cruise out far enough.

We have to make this a decent cruise for what its worth. I am lookin at about $$100 in gas alone!

All vehicles welcome?

this was posted on here as well. I don't think I want to go that far west yet. That would most likely be a 2 day trip for me.

As for the dates, they are negotiable. I figured the earlier the better for weather's sake. As unpredictable as its been lately

I guess all vehicles could be welcome on the Soap Lake cruise. Not exactly a cuttin up the road kinda cruise anyways. Guess it will depend on how much interest there is. We might try and post on the other forum as well once we get a date set.

^lol. Washington is definately no California, but the closer we get to the mountains, the windier the roads get.

I was originally thinking the Lake Chelan area, but i don't know the area. I am open to more suggestions.
