We will begin our Wild West tour! When everyone is ready on the bikes, we will embark on our 4,400 km long journey. LA will disappear behind us as we head south for a unique adventure full of history, excitement, and fun! This first Riding day will bring some city, some highway, and a wonderful Ride along the legendary Pacific Coast Highway 1 towards fun San Diego. We will slowly start tuning everyone into the California riding conditions and temperatures. In approximately 30 min, our first stop will be Long Beach, where we will make an extra security check of the bikes, equipment, and Riders before our tour begins for real.

Get ready for a tasty lunch at Ruby’s Diner in Laguna Beach. Milkshakes the old-fashioned way = highly recommended! After that, we will head straight to San Diego, where we will Ride to Historic Old Town, check into the hotel, and spend the rest of the day on everything this fun city offers: the USS Midway, Maritime Museum, Little Italy, Old Town.

Day 03: San Diego to Blythe (Riding day 2: 362 km/225 miles)

Most of the day, we will Ride along the Mexico border, which is well-guarded by the U.S. Border Patrol. We will eat a Mexican lunch at a popular local diner in Calexico.

After our stop in Calexico, we will continue northeast through the Imperial Sand Dunes, an extraordinary experience. It’s like Riding through a sandy desert with dunes on each side of the road. We guarantee a very rare experience. We will stop in the middle of the “desert” before continuing to Blythe. In the evening, we will go to a local steakhouse and eat an authentic American steak.

Day 04: Blythe to Sedona (Riding day 3: 386 km/240 miles)

We will start the day with a transport leg through the dry prairie landscape before riding the spectacular motorcycle roads to Prescott. Hwy 89 is one of Arizona’s best motorcycle roads, and some parts are somewhat challenging but very enjoyable! We cannot highly praise this riding experience.

After a nice lunch in Prescott, we will continue Riding on fun & curvy motorcycle roads to Jerome ghost town. After that, we will Ride to the breathtaking natural preserve Oak Creek Canyon, where you will be surrounded by spectacular scenery and rock formations. This natural paradise might look familiar since many famous cowboy movies have been recorded here. Oak Creek Canyon is Arizona’s second most popular tourist attraction after the Grand Canyon. Our last stop will be Sedona, in the heart of Oak Creek Canyon, a unique Indian city with dramatic natural surroundings from another world. Sedona is known for its spiritual energy and a thriving cultural community.

Day 05: Sedona to Tuba City (Riding day 4: 306 km/190 miles)

This will be the tour highlight for many. Welcome to the Grand Canyon! We will start the day by Riding fun & curvy motorcycle roads on our way out of Oak Creek Canyon, passing Flagstaff, touching by Historic Route 66, before continuing through beautiful scenery. The helicopter base is just before the “entrance” to the Grand Canyon. Those who pre-ordered the helicopter tour will get an experience they will never forget. Hovering in the air over one of the world’s seven wonders and experiencing this natural wonder up close is almost magical. It is highly recommended! NB: Helicopter rides must be booked separately in advance.

After the helicopter tour, we will ride a short leg to the visitor centre to see the world’s most-watched Imax movie. When you see the film, it feels almost like standing inside the Grand Canyon.

Day 06: Tuba City to Hanksville (Riding day 5: 399 km/248 miles)

We will start the day by Riding to Monument Valley, one of the world’s most photographed natural phenomena. Monument Valley cannot be described in words; it must be experienced. Up close, we will share the classic Wild West landscape of sandstone rock formations. Everything has a reddish shade and is beautiful to look at. Only when you are in Monument Valley will you understand how much this area has influenced your perspective on the Wild West. These natural surroundings are also in other places, but not as perfect as exhibited here. When we ride amongst these majestic rock formations, we are in the middle of the Navajo Indians’ area, so you must get the spiritual mood up.

We will continue to Mexican Hat, another natural phenomenon. Is it a sombrero or stone formation? Then, we will head north to Lake Powell and Utah’s national parks.

Best of all will be our ride up and down the elevations of the Escalante staircase. We believe you will not be able to stop smiling! One of the tour highlights will be the magic of Bryce Canyon. Bryce Canyon’s rock formations will be difficult to describe, an experience on par with the Grand Canyon.

We will continue through Dixie National Forest to another great National Park, Zion. Besides seeing some of the world’s finest rock formations, the roads will be particularly curvy here – “the switchbacks of Zion”! Compared to Yosemite and Grand Canyon, Zion will radiate a more aesthetic appreciation of nature.

Day 08: Hurricane to Las Vegas (Riding day 7: 274 km/172 miles)

Get ready for another fantastic day! We will start by Riding through spectacular Zion. Besides seeing some of the world’s finest rock formations, the roads will be particularly curvy here – “the switchbacks of Zion”!

This evening, you can explore the famous “Sin City” alone. Enjoy! You will be in one of the most fun cities in the world.

Las Vegas will have amazing architecture, unique shows, casinos, and all kinds of entertainment. Vegas will never be boring! Most attractions will be within walking distance. We highly recommend a trip to Caesar’s Palace, Bellagio, MGM, Stardust, Treasure Island, The Venetian, Mirage, Wyatt, and The Fashion Show Mall (over 200 stores). At the Mirage, you can enjoy the evening volcanic eruptions every 30 minutes, turning the garden into a flame show. Inside the casino are rare white tigers. The water show outside the Bellagio is also a memory for life.

Day 09: Las Vegas to Lone Pine (Riding day 8: 401 km/249 miles)

We will head west out of Las Vegas, where the road will take us to Death Valley – the hottest place on the planet outside the Equator!

We will ride through enormous granite mountains and curvy motorcycle roads. This will require some concentration until we approach the mother of the mother of all national parks. Yosemite will draw thousands of images and rise to dizzying heights. You will experience the beautiful, wild, tame, and abundant nature that spreads around you. We will enjoy an outdoor lunch in the open wild Yosemite scenery.

Day 12: San Francisco (Fun and Explorer Day)

When you wake up in funny San Francisco, you might understand why Frank Sinatra left his heart in this city. The city will be a funky, individualistic, and surprisingly small place – indeed, the most liberal city in the US.

San Francisco will have a European feel, and you will have many more opportunities for sightseeing than it is possible to adapt to our short stay here. Make sure you visit Fisherman’s Wharf while dropping by small shops and street cafes famous for some of the best seafood dishes in the world. Feel free to hop on one of the city’s famous “Cable Cars, ” a moving landmark and the heart of this amazing city!
