Self-Guided Tour

Volcanoes and Passes Part 1

8 days / 7 nights • Self-Guided • 1490 mi / 2384 km • 60 - 85 °F / 15.6 - 29.4 °C

Few riders get the opportunity to visit many of the volcanos which make up the United States section of the “Ring of Fire” but this is your opportunity to experience the beautiful Pacific Northwest and their segment of the Ring of Fire. After riding a route that takes you near many of the major volcanos in Washington, Oregon and Northern California you will be astounded to the specular beauty of this region of the United States. A rider’s ride is the best way to explain this tour. EagleRider is sparking the spirit with our new Volcanoes Motorcycle Tour. The concept is simple; create a route with the not so traveled roads, hitting iconic destinations, stopping to view the majestic volcanos of Washington, Oregon and Northern California then landing it one of the most beautiful cities in the world, San Francisco.
