Riding the Yamaha XT250 to a Giant Volcano in the Desert - Cabezon Peak, NM

Hi guys, thanks for joining me for my first video! Today I am headed to Cabezon Peak, it is a giant volcanic plug in the middle of the desert. I am taking the backway there, I've never gone this way and made it all the way through, I have to say it was pretty great. I highly recommend taking this route if your vehicle is capable off road, but regardless, you should check out the peak since you can access it in various ways.
I'm on the Yamaha XT250 today which I have set up ADV-style with bags and a Roto-Pax, its one of my favorite bikes ever. This road gets pretty remote, so reliability is paramount and the XT delivers that, as well as off-road capability due to it's small size and low weight.

This is excellent. It is thirty years since I have ridden the desert southwest. I missed a lot of good stuff. I have been riding sixty six years now, some of it on an XT250. I wish you many more adventures in a beautiful part of the world. Richard
