Best Day Ever. A Pashnit Motorcycle Tour.
- Thread starter pashnit
- Start date
The Western Divide Hwy.
Here it drops out the Sierra Nevada practically straight down.
Imagine riding tight switchback corners for some 10 miles.
Here's a screenshot from some hi-def video shot in slow-motion. A handy feature of the GoPro HD video camera... it will shoot 60 frames per second. So we did several slo-mo passes & we'll have to wait to see how it turns out.

Day 3 begins with an early start to beat the traffic into Sequoia National Park.
It works great and we encounter few other traffic for the entire hour of twisty road-riding it takes to get to the top of the mountain.
Now pause for a moment, look into the photo and get a sense of scale.

More rigging in order to get the shot.
This is a really cool angle btw on film.
Mary & Marco in the bottom of Kings Canyon. We just decended 5000 ft of twisty road.
It's a dead end so we have to ride back up 5000 feet of twisty road. Someone's got to do it.
No pics on that leg, but this might give you an idea of what the ride into Kings Canyon is like...
Walking through a Giant Sequoia.

Day 4 dawns with an early morning ride to Glacier Point.
Half dome from its bottom there at middle of the pic to the top is 5000 feet. That's a mile folks.
El Capitan - that's 3000 feet straight up right there.
Yosemite it so big, it's the size of Rhode Island. Most of it is wilderness. Although trails everywhere.
Yes, we're having as much fun as it looks. Good times.

Special thanks to all our riders on the Pashnit Grand Tour. All the 1000+ miles we covered, the hilarious and animated conversation, the departure from normal reality into a weekend of only good company, incredible scenery and endless twisty roads.
Our tour participants, Marco, Hana, Mary, Kevin and Joe.
