Every rider dreams of riding their favorite motorcycle down historic Route 66! The Route 66 - 8 Day Guided Motorcycle Tour is designed for those who simply don't have the time to commit two weeks to the full ride from Chicago to Los Angeles. What makes this trip great is that it takes in some of the best parts of Route 66 in California and Arizona, while also making stops in Palm Springs, Laughlin, Grand Canyon, Monument Valley, Bryce Canyon, Zion National Park and, of course, Las Vegas. You will see the famous Route 66 sights in Amboy, Kingman, Seligman, Hackberry, Williams and world famous Oatman, Arizona, and you'll do it all in the company of good friends on the saddle of your favorite motorcycle. This motorcycle tour runs separate of our Wild West group, but stays at the same hotels each night, which makes for a great party and bragging on who had a better day between the two groups! See you on 66!
Please take the shuttle bus to your Los Angeles airport hotel. EagleRider’s representative will be present at the hotel lobby to give you information about the upcoming trip. Tonight you will meet up with your fellow riders for a great dinner and cold drinks at one of EagleRider's favorite local restaurants.
After our Welcome Breakfast the moment has come: you will get transferred to EagleRider in Los Angeles to pick-up your bike. After an orientation we head south and ride the winding mountain road down to Lake Elsinore. After lunch, the cool air warms as you soar like an eagle through the roads of San Bernardino National Forest and further into Palm Springs, where we spend the first night. The highlight of the day is a 28 mile stretch of non-stop s-curves with an elevation drop of over 4,000 feet! We'll also have lunch at one of California's best biker bars, "Hell's Kitchen" along the famous Ortega Highway.
Today you will get your first taste of Route 66, but not before we take a loop through Joshua Tree National Park. Enjoy the amazing colors and fantastic rock formations! At Twenty nine Palms your trip gets legendary appeal, as we enter Historic Route 66 in Amboy, which is our road all the way up towards Laughlin. If you have ever dreamed of getting your photo standing over one of the famous Route 66 logos painted on the old highway, today is your chance. Tonight we will enjoy a refreshing swim in the pool before hitting up our secret restaurant for one of the best steaks you will ever eat in your life!
We continue our ride on legendary Route 66 into Arizona, stop for wild animals in Oatman and ride further on to Kingman, which is considered to be “The heart of Historic Route 66”, as it’s situated in the middle of the longest remaining stretch of the old “Mother Road”. From Kingman you head for Seligman, another one of the longest surviving stretches of Route 66, which heads off in a northern loop through the Hualapai Indian Reservation. After our lunch stop at "The Roadkill Cafe" in Seligman we continue our ride towards the majestic Grand Canyon; be prepared for one of the greatest sights man has ever seen. We'll get there in plenty of time to sit with a cold drink and watch an incredible sunset from the South Rim of the Grand Canyon.
How many people in your hometown can say they woke up this morning at took a helicopter ride over the Grand Canyon? Well, now you know at least one! After a helicopter flight and ride along the South Rim it’s off to the incredible Monument Valley. This is Navajo Country here and you are in for an authentic Navajo lunch today. The classic Wild West landscape of stark sandstone buttes and forbidding pinnacles of rock, poking from an endless expanse of drifting red sands, has an archetypal image. Only when you arrive at Monument Valley you will come to realize how much your perception of the West has in fact been shaped by this one spot. Such scenery does exist elsewhere, of course, but nowhere is it so perfectly distilled. You will be treated to Navajo Tacos and traditional Navajo music and dance before we head to Mexican Hat, where we overnight. Tonight we will cook steaks over an open fire and enjoy a group party around the pool.
From Kayenta we will ride up to sleepy Mexican Hat, briefly a frenzied gold-mining camp, which takes its name from a riverside sandstone hoodoo – it actually looks like a south-of-the-border sombrero. We ride on to the Valley of the Gods, where much of the movie “Thelma and Louise” was filmed, and cross the Colorado River where it pours into Lake Powell. Lake Powell has 1960 miles of shoreline, which is more than the entire Pacific Coast and 96 water-filled side canyons. We ride along the southern tip of Capitol Reef National Park, on to Glen Canyon National Recreation Area and roar on up to the Devil’s Backbone through the Escalante Wilderness en route to Bryce Canyon, where we overnight.
This morning there will be time to visit the amazing Bryce Canyon before we continue to Zion National Park. Besides seeing the most beautiful rock formations found anywhere on earth, you are in for a most challenging ride here – the switchbacks of Zion! Compared to Yosemite and the Grand Canyon, Zion exudes a stronger sense of nature. From Zion it is only a short ride into the neon and gambling oasis of Las Vegas where we’ll return our bikes into our EagleRider location just minutes from the famous Las Vegas Strip . Tonight get ready for a recap of this great adventure at our Farewell Dinner.
This day is for relaxing, gambling, exploring or whatever your heart desires. Keep in mind we will have an early start on the following day!
