Routes / Re: pinedale wyoming/ hiway 191 riding

thanks for the confirmation of what I expected.  I driven his route many timesand have taken the road to Maybell since well before it was paved, 1st time probably 1985!  I love Rt  430 and it is one of the reasons I am riding my bike to Granite, Co.  Have also explored(by truck) the Red Desert just on the other side of the White Earth Cliffs ridge which parallels 191 from Eden to just north of R. Springs. Have you been to the Boars Tusk and /or the petroglyph/birthing site?  Worth the trip.

I did some riding last spring in Zion, both early morning and FULL MOON night riding. If your trip coincides with the full moon, it was spectacular, esp. because the road to the narrows is closed to vehicles once past the Zion Lodge.  I rode from 10pm for 1 1/2 hrs and didn't see a single vehicle, just moonlight glowing on the cliff faces.

I am planning on Montana to Colorado ride in August 2011 and have some concerns with the stretch from Pinedale to Rock Springs, esp. regarding truck traffic given the gas/oil development in the area.
Anyone ride this last summer and have any insight. Also, what about wind?
