A friend and I are headed out to Mesa, Arizona at the end of next month on the motorcycles for a large benefit ride. We will be headed thru Durango and plan on staying there. I love camping on motorcycles, so my question is:

What is the closest National Forest that has easy enough access for a motorcycle to handle? Washboard dirt road is just fine, basically any road a car could handle.

We are looking for free camping.

Thanks!
 
My maps show San Juan National Forest near the north of Durango. I think "no trace" camping is legal in national forests but you may need a permit. Maps also show all sorts of access roads in the forest so just drive up one, look for an old logging road or trail heading off and you should be OK.
