Wild West Motorcycle Tour™

From Kayenta we ride up to sleepy Mexican Hat, a once-bustling gold mining camp named for its distinctive sombrero-shaped sandstone formation. Continue past the Valley of the Gods—famous as the backdrop for "Thelma and Louise"—before crossing the Colorado River where it feeds into Lake Powell, with its incredible 1,960 miles of shoreline. The route skirts the southern edge of Capitol Reef National Park, climbing over aspen-dotted peaks and following the striking sandstone formations of the Devil's Backbone. Wind through the remote Escalante Wilderness before reaching Bryce Canyon for tonight's stay—the perfect end to a day filled with the Southwest's most dramatic landscapes.

This morning there will be time to visit the amazing Bryce Canyon before riding to Zion National Park. Here, tackle the famous switchbacks that wind through towering sandstone cliffs and deep, verdant canyons. Unlike Yosemite and the Grand Canyon, Zion offers a more intimate connection with nature—its scale and proximity creating an immersive wilderness experience. From the tranquility of Zion, ride to the stark contrast of Las Vegas, where neon replaces natural wonders and a different kind of adventure awaits. Riders concluding their journey in Vegas will gather for a Farewell Dinner to celebrate the unforgettable miles behind them.

A well-earned day off in Las Vegas. Try your luck at the casinos, catch a world-class show, explore the Strip, or simply relax by the pool. The day is yours to spend as you please in this entertainment capital. Rest up and enjoy—we hit the road early tomorrow morning for the next leg of our adventure.

Ride west from Las Vegas into Death Valley—one of the hottest places on earth. This harsh landscape offers stunning beauty in its stark simplicity: layered rock formations create dramatic shadows while mineral deposits paint the ancient mudflats in surprising bursts of color. Navigate a series of mountain curves down to the valley floor, where you'll find yourself riding more than 100 feet below sea level. From this lowest point in the United States, continue west on winding roads that climb dramatically into the Sierra Nevada Mountains, eventually reaching the alpine resort town of Mammoth Lakes at over 7,000 feet elevation. This remarkable day takes you through an extreme elevation change of more than 7,100 feet and showcases California's incredible geographic diversity. Please note: Spring rides (April-June) may follow alternate routes due to weather conditions. Our experienced team always has scenic backup routes prepared.

Depart Mammoth Lakes heading north before turning west onto the famed Tioga Pass—the eastern gateway to Yosemite National Park. The road challenges riders with technical turns through granite canyons, demanding your full attention and rewarding your skill. As you enter Yosemite, reality meets reputation. Yosemite lives up to its reputation with magnificent trees, waterfalls, and massive rock formations. The ride through this stunning landscape brings us to El Portal at the park's western edge for our overnight stay. Please note: Spring rides (April-June) may follow alternate routes due to weather conditions. Our experienced team always has scenic backup routes prepared.

Head west from Yosemite through California's historic Gold Rush territory. The route winds through charming mining towns like Groveland before descending the twisting Old Priest Grade road. Leaving Gold Country behind, we ride into the coastal beauty of Marin County—a region of striking contrasts where luxury meets natural splendor. Rolling hills, redwood forests, and glimpses of the Pacific set the stage for your first view of the iconic Golden Gate Bridge. Cross the Golden Gate Bridge into San Francisco and arrive at our hotel in the city center. We'll spend two nights here, giving you time to explore this famous city.

Begin one of motorcycling's bucket-list rides as you roll onto the Pacific Coast Highway (Highway 1) heading south from San Francisco. This iconic route hugs the California shoreline, delivering panoramic ocean views at every turn. The rugged Pacific shoreline offers countless photo opportunities as you ride past dramatic cliffs, hidden coves, and crashing waves. Your journey brings you to Monterey, a charming seaside town famous for its historic Cannery Row, world-class aquarium, and the renowned Laguna Seca Raceway. Settle in for the night with the sound of the Pacific in the background.

Continue your Pacific Coast Highway adventure through Big Sur—90 miles of untamed coastline where the Santa Lucia Mountains plunge dramatically into the ocean. This stretch delivers the postcard-perfect scenes that make Highway 1 famous: redwood groves tucked into coastal canyons, engineering marvels like Bixby Bridge spanning deep gorges, and waves crashing against rugged cliffs far below. The route winds past artichoke fields, the historic Hearst Castle region near San Simeon, and the fascinating Elephant Seal Rookery. Ride through the charming coastal towns of Cambria and Morro Bay before reaching Pismo Beach—your oceanside home for the night after a truly memorable day in the saddle. Please note: Our route may occasionally change due to coastal road conditions. Our team always has equally stunning alternate routes planned.

Take Highway 101 south toward Los Angeles with the Pacific Ocean on your right and coastal mountains on your left. The morning ride winds through California's renowned wine country, where vineyards blanket the rolling hills. After a coffee break, we continue through Santa Barbara's palm-lined streets before following the coastline into Malibu, playground of the rich and famous. Cruise past the beaches of Santa Monica, LA's iconic beachfront community, before reaching Hawthorne and EagleRider headquarters. Return your motorcycle and transfer to our hotel where we'll gather for a farewell dinner to celebrate our 2,687-mile journey through the American West.

Your Wild West adventure concludes today. Take the hotel shuttle to Los Angeles International Airport for your journey home. Want more? Let us know if you'd like to extend your stay with additional nights in LA to explore this sprawling city. We can arrange discounted hotel nights or even set you up with another motorcycle rental to continue your two-wheeled California exploration. Until next time, ride safe and see you soon!
