LAS VEGAS ROUND TRIP
4 DAYS
Daily Departures.
You are planning to be in Las Vegas for a while but want to do something different. Why not explore some of the quirky Route 66 places? This tour gives you amazing natural wonders, man-made structures along the way and the fun things that make the Route 66 journey what it is.
Here is your daily itinerary.
Day 1 Las Vegas, NV Las Vegas – Hoover Dam – Grand Canyon (Ride time: 2h 39m – 136 mi/223 km)
Pick up your motorcycle for the rental location, and it’s time to start your road trip. With Las Vegas in your rear-view mirrors, you are heading out to Hover Dam. Take some time here, maybe a tour of this miracle in the desert which supplies water and energy to ‘the city that never sleeps’.
Cross the Hoover Dam wall and into Arizona. Stop at the lookouts and take those great memorable photos. You have to return the way you came back to Nevada, as this is a dead-end road. Re-join Highway 93, and it’s an easy ride. We have a little stop we will tell you about now, but that would ruin the surprise.
You turn off the highway and head for the Grand Canyon. You will soon be viewing this amazing natural wonder. Walk out onto the Grand Canyon Skywalk, take a helicopter flight or maybe both. Then it’s off to tonight’s accommodation at Cabins at Grand Canyon West.
Day 2: Grand Canyon West, AZ – Roadkill Cafe, Seligman, AZ (Ride time: 2h 57m – 174 mi/280 kms)
Spend the morning exploring more of the West Grand Canyon. When you are ready, you will be on your way to travel along a great back road until you reach civilisation and turn east onto Interstate 40, also known as the Purple Heart Trail. Along the way, there is a lookout which is just a leg stretch. You leave Interstate 40 and turn onto Route 66 and onto the town of your overnight stop.
Seligman is a great place to explore, which makes it a great stop. See what you can discover.
Your overnight is at the Historic Route 66 Motel. Enjoy the great meals next door at the Roadkill Cafe. Remember their motto ‘you kill it, we grill it’.
Day 3: Roadkill Cafe, Seligman, AZ – El Travatore, Kingman, AZ (Ride time: 1h 23m – 86 mi/138kms)
There is too much to see today to just rush down the road. Take your time and enjoy the stops.
Let’s start with breakfast.
It was only a short ride down Route 66 yesterday from i40 to Seligman. Today it’s all Route 66.
Your first stop is Grand Canyon Caverns. These are the largest dry caverns in the United States, located 200 to 300 feet below the surface and accessible via the exploration elevator. Located in the middle of 3,000,000 acres of the most unspoiled land left in the world, enjoy clean air, clear skies, open prairies, and a refreshing change of scenery from the urban world.
Next, the Hackberry General Store. This is so popular with tourists; you’ll be surprised where they are from, even possibly Australia!
You have returned to the road and are arriving in to Kingman with all the Route 66 connections and photo op galore.
Don’t miss a stop at “Giganticus Headicus,” this is a giant, tiki-style head constructed in 2004 by area artist Gregg Arnold. The statue is 14 feet tall and crafted from cement, chicken wire, and styrofoam.
The next stop is Mike’s Route 66 Outpost & Saloon.
You have almost reached tonight’s accommodation at the El Travatore, Kingman, AZ, but with the time you have, experience the Arizona Route 66 Museum and downtown Kingman.
Day 4: Kingman, AZ – Oatman, AZ – Needles – Las Vegas, NV (Ride time: 3h 7m – 165 mi/295 km)
After breakfast, explore what you missed yesterday in Kingman but be mindful that there are other interesting stops ahead today.
Your next stop is Cool Springs, AZ.
Time to move on and enjoy the winding road to Oatman, be careful; there are wild donkeys on the road even before you get to Oatman.
Have a look around; you may even be tempted to buy something.
You return to the road and head for the Borax wagon in Needles, CA.
After Needles, you are on the home stretch, but you should make a stop in Searchlight which was founded in 1898; Searchlight takes its name from the Searchlight Mine. Mining history is a prominent part of the Searchlight Museums’ offerings.
One last stop and about 10 miles before you reach Las Vegas is Internationally renowned Swiss artist Ugo Rondinone’s Seven Magic Mountains is a large-scale site-specific public art installation located near Jean Dry Lake and Interstate 15, approximately ten miles south of Las Vegas, Nevada. Comprised of seven towers of colourful, stacked boulders standing more than thirty feet high. With the photos taken, the last leg of the ride takes you back to Las Vegas.
