Eagle Rider

Welcome to Milwaukee, the birthplace of Harley-Davidson, and one of our favorite Great Lakes cities. We will be staying at our Downtown Milwaukee Hotel. Once everybody is settled, we will meet up with the rest of the group for a fun dinner and night out.  

Milwaukee, WI - Arrival

We will grab breakfast before making our short walk over to the H-D Museum for a truly VIP experience. There is a lot to see today as this VIP Experience is an in-depth immersion into the world of Harley-Davidson. 
An Amazing Day awaits you.




Harley-Davidson Museum VIP Experience

Today, we grab our Harleys and make the easy ride along the shores of Lake Michigan to the start of Route 66 in Chicago.  We will meet up with another EagleRider Route 66 group that is starting their journey in Chicago for a fun night out on the town, and maybe ribbing them a bit about how we just got to spend two days as VIPs in Milwaukee with Harley-Davidson!  Tomorrow, we begin our 14 day journey down historic Route 66!

Milwaukee, WI – Chicago, IL

We’ll get a leisurely start to our day to give our Chicago riders a chance to grab their bikes from EagleRider. Once they are set, we will meet up with them and begin our epic journey, cutting through the state of Illinois before running all the way to the Pacific Coast. From Chicago you head south along the Pontiac Trail, the original name for this bit of the road here, passing through Joliet, stopping at the amazing RT 66 Museum in Pontiac and generally getting a feel for the rubber on the Mother Road

Chicago, IL – Springfield, IL

Today we head towards St. Louis! We will stay primarily on the 2-lane sections of the Mother Road, traversing cornfields and small towns that represent the heartland of America. Our arrival into St. Louis will be over the Chain of Rocks Bridge, the original bridge where RT 66 crossed the Mississippi River. Enjoy the short ride today into the "Gateway to the West," St. Louis. This amazing city rests along the shores of the mighty Mississippi River and is home to some of the best live music and BBQ ribs in the country.

Springfield, IL – St.Louis, MO

Try to get up early to walk across the street today and enjoy an early morning view of the St. Louis Arch and Mississippi River before we hit the road. We quickly leave the city in mirrors as we settle in to enjoy the rolling Missouri hills that make this area so beautiful and fun to ride in. We will stop and see the famous World’s Largest Rocking Chair in Fanning, wind our way on the twisting roads of Devil’s Elbow, and stop at other Route 66 icons. Tonight we will enjoy a stay in Joplin, a city that was hit very hard in 2011 by a massive tornado. Maybe tonight we'll hang with the locals and hear some amazing stories about what it was like to be in the eye of a massive tornado! 

St. Louis, MO – Joplin, MO

Today is all about the route! From Joplin we will head west through the hills and horse country through Oklahoma, crossing Miami, Claremore and Catoosa, home of the legendary Blue Whale before passing through Tulsa, We will also go through the reservations of several Native American tribes. In the 1830s, much of this land was considered "unusable" by the Federal Government, so various Indian tribes were "settled" there after colonization, including the Choctaw, Chickasaw, Seminole, Creek and Cherokee. This evening we will stay in Oklahoma City, the heart and soul of Route 66.! At night you can enjoy at Bricktown, the neighborhood in the heart of the city full of lively restaurants, bars and shops

Joplin, MO – Oklahoma City, OK

This morning we travel along some of the oldest stretches of Oklahoma’s Route 66. Once the land of vast buffalo herds, this section of 66 traverses some of the great cattle trails which were used in the 1860s to drive herds of cattle from Texas up to the railhead in Abilene, Kansas. We will ride along a section of the Chisholm Trial, which passes through Yukon and El Reno, and stop at the amazing Route 66 Museum in Clinton. After lunch we cross the border into the Texas Panhandle, the southernmost portion of the Great Plains. We will offer an optional excursion to the Big Texan Steakhouse in Amarillo where you have the opportunity to enjoy the best steaks in Texas, guaranteed! 

Oklahoma City, OK – Amarillo, TX


Today you leave Texas and are on your way into “The Land of Enchantment”, New Mexico. After passing through the world-famous Cadillac Ranch, we'll stop at the midway point of RT 66 in Adrian, Texas! And how about the ghost town of Glen Rio, where you can stand with one foot in New Mexico and the other one in Texas? From there we enter the land of the Comanche Indians, where mesas, mountains, cactus and pines define the landscape as we head up into the High Plains and altitude of Santa Fe in central New Mexico. Santa Fe is one of America’s oldest and most beautiful cities, and will be our base for the next two nights. 


Amarillo, TX – Santa Fe, NM

Today is at leisure to rest and enjoy the distinctive flavor of this nearly 400-year-old city. The blend of cultures here becomes evident in the southwestern architectural style so closely associated with New Mexico’s capital city. Perhaps you would like to take a ride along the river valley to the old Native American Indian town of Taos, enjoy a sunrise hot air balloon ride, or play cowboy for a day on a horseback ride along a mountain or canyon trail. Santa Fe provides all of these opportunities and more.

Santa Fe, NM - Free Day

This morning you head south, down to Albuquerque, New Mexico’s largest city, with a third of the state’s population. Albuquerque is sprawling at the heart of New Mexico, where the main east - west road and rail routes cross both the Rio Grande and the old road south to Mexico. You cross the Rio Grande and head west – out into the open country and the hues of the Navajo wilderness. You are skirting mesas and bluffs on into Laguna. Further on ride through Grants and along Cibola National Forest towards the famous Route 66 town of Gallup – an old railroad town and Indian stronghold. Enjoy your stay tonight with a host of fellow riders from around the world at one of the many biker friendly hotels in Gallup.

Santa Fe, NM – Gallup, NM

Today is another huge day, full of spectacular scenery and iconic Route 66 stops. We cross the border into Arizona and ride to Petrified Forest National Park, a fossilized prehistoric forest of gigantic trees that has been unearthed by erosion. Here you will have the time to explore this stunning landscape and take a moment to get lost in the expansiveness that defines this area. Leaving Petrified Forest NP, we travel further west to the Wigwam Hotel in Holbrook, and stop to stand on the corner in Winslow! While most groups stop in Flagstaff or Williams, Arizona, we will ride on to spend our night just one mile from the South Rim of the Grand Canyon! Tonight you will sit with a cold drink in your hand and enjoy the sunset over the South Rim of the Grand Canyon. The dream is coming true!

Gallup, NM – Grand Canyon, AZ

For those looking to get a real "Bird's Eye View" of the Grand Canyon be sure to let us know and we will arrange a morning helicopter ride over the heart of the South Rim. Leaving the Grand Canyon, we will pick Route 66 back up in Williams, Arizona before heading to stops in the famous 66 towns of Seligman, Hackberry and Kingman, and Oatman before arriving at our Laughlin hotel on the shores of the Colorado River.

Grand Canyon, AZ – Laughlin, AZ

Today is a quick ride for a little detour to take in the incredible sights and sounds of Las Vegas! Our journey this morning will take us through our first real taste of the Mojave Desert, and a ride across the famous Hoover Dam! One thing is for sure, your time in Vegas may be short, but it will sure be sweet! Try to get a little bit of sleep because we pick up Route 66 tomorrow right where we left off yesterday. 

Laughlin, AZ – Las Vegas, NV

Today we cross the border into our final State on Route 66 – California! One thing is for sure - today is a day like no other as we traverse the Mojave Desert which offers some of the most dramatic scenery in Southern California. You can imagine what it must have been like for early Route 66 travelers making their way across this huge expanse of desert, dotted with Joshua Trees, cactus, volcanic rock and sand as you stop in the tiny "waystations" of Amboy and Ludlow. Tonight, we celebrate our last night on the Mother Road. 

Las Vegas, NV – Victorville, CA

Today we head off for our final destination – the end of the road on the Santa Monica Pier! To get there, however, we first get to ride the 66 miles of the Angeles Crest Highway through the mountainous terrain of Angeles National Forest. This highway is considered one of the top motorcycle rides in southern California and rises to over 2300 meters. Next we descend the Crest into the Los Angeles Basin and heading towards the Pacific Ocean. Riders always have mixed emotions as they stand at the "End of the Trail" sign on the Santa Monica Pier. There is a sense of joy and elation at having completed a journey most people only dream about, and a sense of sadness at the thought of the ride having come to an end. Tonight we celebrate the miles we’ve ridden and the friends we made as we party together at our Farewell Dinner!

Victorville, CA – Los Angeles, CA

Today your exciting trip will conclude in Los Angeles. Please be sure to let us know if you need an extra night or two in L.A. to enjoy the sights. We can even arrange a discounted motorcycle rental! See you next year! EagleRider

Guided

We had a blast on this tour, our guide and van driver where fantastic and really helped bring the group together, even with language barriers. We all are friends for life now. The bikes where fantastic.all late model low mileage. The hotels where all clean and very nice. The weather was fantastic mid 90's every day. The VIP tour is the way to go as the museum and head office tours are a must for any Harley fan. Once again our guide Stefano and van driver Jud, went out of their ways to make this the most enjoyable trip possible. I highly recommend this trip.
Cheers and thank you Eaglerider for a lifetime of memories and new friends.
