High Plains Cruise (Route 350 from Trinidad, Colorado and into Kansas)

"The only thing bleaker than Trinidad, Colorado, is the land east of it," said Peter Jones, a writer and longtime rider from Laurel Park, N.C., who chose this route for its austere High Plains beauty. But the ride—which follows Route 350 northeast from Trinidad to La Junta before continuing east to Kansas on Route 50—also reveals feed lots, hardscrabble rangeland and agricultural towns on life support. "It's an America most travelers ignore and avoid, which is the attraction for me," Jones said.
