Details
Join us on this 14-day tour, riding sections of the famous Route 66, breaking out to explore the wonderful scenery of the wild, wild west, before ending your tour in Sunny California. Along the way visit fabled Roswell [you might see a UFO] Monument Valley, Horseshoe Bend, the Grand Canyon, the amazing giant sequoia trees, and sections of the PCH in California.
Beginning in Denver, and ending in southern California, you will ride key sections of the “Mother Road”, through the rugged beauty of Texas and Arizona and the prairies of Oklahoma, giving you a close-up view of the amazing scenery.
While this loop can be ridden throughout the summer, if taken in late spring or late summer, you will appreciate the cooler temperatures. Early fall is also a good time to ride this trail; at this time of year these areas are well into the cooler weather of autumn, and frosty areas can be found, giving the mountains a bright golden covering as aspen leaves change color.
The roads on this trail are in good condition with light traffic out of the cities. City traffic can be heavy at times. Other than road repairs you will not be required to ride on any unsealed roads.
Also available West to East leaving LA and ending in Denver.
This tour is suitable for Intermediate or Advanced riders only.
Note: USA drivers drive on the right-hand side of the road.
Use your own motorcycle or use one of our rental touring motorcycles, which are licensed, and safety inspected and verified by the US government.
