Tour Itinerary:
Day 1: Los Angeles Arrival. Please take the shuttle bus to your Los Angeles airport hotel. Our representative will be present at the hotel lobby to give you information about the upcoming trip. Explore L.A.’s night life in Hollywood or Santa Monica or just get a goodnight’s sleep.
Day 2: Los Angeles - Palm Springs. After our Welcome Breakfast the moment has come: you will get transferred in Los Angeles to pick-up your bike. After an orientation we head south and ride the winding mountain road down to Lake Elsinore. After lunch, the cool air warms as you soar like an eagle through the roads of San Bernardino National Forest and further into Palm Springs, where we spend the first night.
Day 3: Palm Springs - Laughlin. Today we take a loop through Joshua Tree National Park. Enjoy the amazing colors and fantastic rock formations! At Twentynine Palms your trip gets legendary appeal, as we enter Historic Route 66 in Amboy, which is our road all the way up towards Laughlin. We cross the state line into Nevada and arrive in Laughlin, where we overnight.
Day 4: Laughlin - Grand Canyon. We continue our ride on legendary Route 66 into Arizona, stop for wild animals in Oatman and ride further on to Kingman, which is considered to be “The heart of Historic Route 66”, as it’s situated in the middle of the longest remaining stretch of the old “Mother Road”. From Kingman you head for Seligman, another one of the longest surviving stretches of Route 66, which heads off in a northern loop through the Hualapai Indian Reservation. After our lunch stop in Seligman we continue our ride towards the majestic Grand Canyon; be prepared for one of the greatest sights man has ever seen!
Day 5: Grand Canyon - Monument Valley (Mexican Hat). We spend the morning at the Grand Canyon to get some fantastic views. Then we’ll cruise along the South Rim for a few miles and leave Grand Canyon National Park at the East entrance. Now it’s off to the incredible Monument Valley. This is Navajo Country here and you are in for an authentic Navajo lunch today. The classic Wild West landscape of stark sandstone buttes and forbidding pinnacles of rock, poking from an endless expanse of drifting red sands, has an archetypal image. Only when you arrive at Monument Valley you will come to realize how much your perception of the West has in fact been shaped by this one spot. Such scenery does exist elsewhere, of course, but nowhere is it so perfectly distilled. We head for Mexican Hat, where we overnight. Get into an Indian spiritual mood tonight.
Day 6: Monument Valley (Mexican Hat) - Bryce Canyon. From sleepy Mexican Hat, briefly a frenzied gold-mining camp, which takes its name from a riverside sandstone hoodoo – it actually looks like a south-of-the-border sombrero. We ride on to the Valley of the Gods, where much of the movie “Thelma and Louise” was filmed, and cross the Colorado River where it pours into Lake Powell. Lake Powell has 1960 miles of shoreline, which is more than the entire Pacific Coast and 96 water-filled side canyons. We ride along the southern tip of Capitol Reef National Park, on to Glen Canyon National Recreation Area and roar on up to the Devil’s Backbone through the Escalante Wilderness en route to Bryce Canyon, where we overnight.
Day 7: Bryce Canyon - Las Vegas. This morning there will be time to visit the amazing Bryce Canyon before we continue to Zion National Park. Besides seeing the most beautiful rock formations found anywhere on earth, you are in for a most challenging ride here – the switchbacks of Zion! Compared to Yosemite and the Grand Canyon, Zion exudes a stronger sense of nature. From Zion it is only a short ride into the neon and gambling oasis of Las Vegas. Tonight get ready for a recap of this great adventure at our Good-Bye Dinner.
Day 8: Las Vegas Departure. Today we reluctantly drop off the bikes at Las Vegas in the morning and say “Good Bye” to our new friends and tour guides. We hope to see you again next year for another great adventure on two wheels.
