Detailed itinerary Day 0
Welcome to Denver.
One of our representatives will transfer you from the airport to your hotel. After a welcome dinner with the group, there will be a short briefing about your upcoming expedition.
Day 1
After renting our motorcycles, we will begin heading west. Within half an hour we will begin climbing into the Rocky Mountains and tackle the first dirt section after passing through the town of Buena Vista. You will be surrounded by the Collegiate Peaks, some of the highest 14ers in the Rocky Mountains. We will see the ski town of Crested Butte, and in the late afternoon will arrive in the small town of Paonia for the night.
Day 2
Our first highlight today is Grand Mesa, where we will tour a scenic dirt road. Later we will tour Unaweep Canyon, pass through the town of Gateway and cross into the state of Utah. In Castle Valley, you will have your first chance to see the red rocks of Utah; we will follow the Colorado River all the way to Moab.
Day 3
Today we will tour two national parks and return to Moab for the night. The first stop will be Arches National Park, famous for its natural stone arches. The second will be Canyonlands National Park and its countless canyon views. You will also visit the amazing Dead Horse Point State Park.
Day 4
After an easy cruise on a scenic highway, we will enter the San Rafael Swell. Here we tackle today's dirt section, the site of several popular slot canyons. We will drive through Capitol Reef National Park and then take a road known as "Journey through Time Scenic Byway", filled with exciting curves and breathtaking scenery. We will wind up in the town of Boulder, Utah for the night.
Day 5
Today we visit two more national parks. Bryce Canyon is one of my favorites: its unique and colorful hoodoo formations will take your breath away. Next we tour Zion National Park, and will spend the night in a town nearby.
Day 6
After passing through St. George, we will enter the state of Arizona, but only for 32 miles! We will follow the Virgin River through a canyon all the way to Nevada. Our last point of interest today will be Valley of Fire State Park near Las Vegas. We will end the day in Las Vegas.
Day 7
Today is your chance to discover Las Vegas. You can take a helicopter tour of the Grand Canyon, visit famous casinos, or just relax by the pool.
Day 8
Today is our longest day. We start by riding over the famous Hoover Dam, entering Arizona and following Route 66. At the end of the day we will enter a dirt section which will take us all the way to Jerome, Arizona, a small copper mining town dramatically clinging to the edge of a mountain.
Day 9
Before we enter the renowned town of Sedona, we will tackle a dirt section through Red Canyon. After a short break in Sedona, Owl Creek Canyon will take us all the way to Flagstaff. Our final destination today is the world famous Grand Canyon; we will spend the night nearby.
Day 10
We leave Grand Canyon today and ride through the Navajo Reservation. Taking Arizona's typical long, straight roads, we will tour Monument Valley. We will finish our day with a scenic dirt road through the Valley of the Gods.
Day 11
Our destination today is Durango, Colorado. We will follow McElmo Creek from Utah into Colorado. Here, we will visit Mesa Verde National Park, famous for its ancient cliff dwellings. In Durango, a second rest day awaits you.
Day 12
Today is a rest day in Durango. Take a steam train to the mining town of Silverton or explore the historic town of Durango.
Day 13
A long day awaits us again. First, we will take the breathtaking Million-Dollar Highway through the San Juan Mountains to the town of Ouray. We will ride over Owl Creek Pass, a dirt road that takes us to the Gunnison valley. From here we take another dirt road over Marshall Pass and spend the night at Cottonwood Hot Springs in Buena Vista, Colorado.
Day 14
We will start the day by touring some easy dirt trails around Buena Vista. One of the last beautiful roads of our trip will follow the South Platte River through Deckers to the mountain town of Evergreen. In the late afternoon, we will return our motorcycles in Denver and get together for a final group dinner.
Day 00
We will provide transportation to the airport for all our riders, and look forward to seeing you again on a trip in the future.
