You arrive in Albuquerque for your first overnight stop.  Albuquerque is New Mexico’s largest city, home to a third of the state’s population.  Albuquerque is also 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.  Tomorrow morning you will start your ride!

From Gallup it’s only about half an hour to the Arizona border.  Once you enter Arizona enjoy a very scenic ride through the Petrified Forest, a fossilized prehistoric forest of giant trees that has been unearthed by erosion.  Just west of Petrified National Forest you get to Holbrook and Winslow, two old Route 66 towns that are kept alive by transcontinental truckers.  Tonight we will stay in Flagstaff, the northern Arizona community on historic Route 66 and is the regions hub for visits to the Grand Canyon.

Tonight you will overnight in Williams where you can walk, dine and shop in this historic downtown on Route 66.

Cruise down “Memory Lane” and head towards the town of Seligman, one of the longest surviving stretches of the “Mother Road”.  From Seligman, Route 66 heads off on a northern loop through the Hualapai Indian Reservation and a dozens of quickly fading towns.  From Seligman you stay on Route 66 all the way into Kingman.  Leaving Kingman, stay on Route 66 via the Oatman Highway.  Continue on Route 66 / Oatman Highway as you wind through the canyons surrounded by active and extinct gold mines.  The town of Oatman is considered a living Ghost Town.  Much of the village stays true to its heritage with staged gunfights and wild burros wandering the streets.  Continue to the magical oasis in the dessert, Laughlin.

Williams, AZ – Laughlin, NV 

Today it’s off to California, the final state on your ride down legendary Route 66.  Ride along the Mojave Desert, which offers some of the most dramatic scenery in Southern California…rolling with lush grasses, startling volcanic formations, large stands of Joshua trees, and even in some Pinyon pines.  From the desert you get right into the cool pines of the San Gabriel Mountains. Head for Victorville, which is your base for tonight.

Laughlin, NV – Victorville, CA

Today you are on your way to the final destination of your legendary American road trip, Los Angeles. You head for the end of Route 66 at the Santa Monica Pier. Santa Monica is one of the oldest and largest LA’s resorts. Once a wild beachfront playground, it is now a self-consciously liberal and healthy community. Spend the afternoon sightseeing and enjoy Hollywood with the famous Chinese Theatre, Beverly Hills, Rodeo Drive, and much more. 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. The great news is that next ride is just a dream away, and EagleRider looks forward to welcoming you back very soon.

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.
