Experience BikeFest & So Much More
Stand on the corner of four states at once. Marvel at Zion, Bryce, and Grand Canyon National Parks. Push up against the Rocky Mountains on the Million Dollar Hwy. See historical sites along Route 66 including the ‘Mother Road’ town of Williams, AZ—a stunning town stuck in the 50's. Feel the mystical energy of Sedona pump through your veins before chowing down on the best burgers the cliffhanging mountainside town of Jerome has to offer. There is so much to see as you ride back toward Vegas, such as the Hoover Damn and Lake Mead. Finish off with a horseback ride through the Red Rocks near Las Vegas.
This time of year, expect temperatures to be in the 80's with the potential for chilly weather at certain altitudes. Temperatures may vary between 40 and 100 degrees F. Pack layers and drink lots of water.
We offer the same Southwest Adventure tour in June that does not begin with Las Vegas BikeFest.

Off we go to the Valley of Fire and into Utah, across a corner of AZ and through Zion National Park. On this ride, you'll see incredible rock formations and ride through canyons that spark a sense of awe. Look out over the Beaver Dam reservoir as you ride into a chasm that open onto a whole different vista. The ride through Zion remains a longstanding favorite of almost every motorcyclist that rides through it. Stop for the night in nearby Mt. Carmel Junction.
Book Tour
- Start the day with a ride along the ridge of Bryce Canyon and follow that with a cruise down below looking up. There is a little-known (but incredible) waterfall on Mossy Cave Trail that is worth the short hike. It is small but framed by the most magnificent red rock formations. Ride on through Escalante Staircase before filling up on lunch at a cafe in the middle of nowhere that looks over a deep valley below. Next brave Razor Back Ridge on your way to Capital Reef National Park. Stay the night where the Milky Way is visible in Hanksville, UT.
Book Tour
- After leaving Hanksville, ride out across the Colorado River to Four Corners National Monument. Here, you’ll stand in four states at once and see the ancient cliff dwellings of the Ute Indians. A hike is available to get closer with the rich historic culture. Enjoy some real SW nightlife and local flavor while staying overnight in Cortez.
Book Tour
- Spend all day in the San Juan National Forest portion of the SW Rocky Mountains. Ride CO145 through the famous western towns of Delores and Rico. Make a pit stop in the ski town of Telluride for lunch. After lunch, ride the Million Dollar Hwy through Ouray and Silverton for some unbelievable mountain views. Stop for the night in Durango where you'll find the best Mexican food on this side of the border..
Book Tour
- Pass through Chimney Rock and Pagosa Springs in Colorado before dropping down to New Mexico to ride through the Carson National Forest and into Red River. Loop around Taos Ski Valley and stay the night in Taos, NM—home to a thriving night life and SW Native American influences. On this portion of the ride you will see some amazing bluffs and staggering natural monuments.
Book Tour
- Ride from Taos to Gallup through the Valles Caldera National Preserve. This is a magnificent ride through wide open New Mexico landscape that positions us for the next day’s ride on old route 66.
Book Tour
- Day ten starts with a short ride to Williams, AZ--the town that never left the 1950’s Rte. 66 era. Take a ride through the Painted Dessert and the Petrified Forest National Park. There is a quick stop for Jackson Brown fans to stand on a corner in Winslow and get a picture with A Girl My Lord in a Flat Bed Ford. This ride includes many Rte. 66 highlights. Rest up in town as the next day we conquer the Grand Canyon Rim.
Book Tour
- Leave Williams and spend the morning at various stops, with a few short hikes, along the South Rim of the Grand Canyon. Then we head to Sedona, an area believed to be a Spiritual Vortex. In fact, Frank L Wright built an incredible chapel overlook here. From Sedona, it is a short ride to Jerome, a town literally built on the side of a mountain. Jerome boasts the best beer and burgers in the SW. With so much to see this is the shortest ride day of the tour.
Book Tour
- Leave Arizona and head back to Nevada with stops at Hoover Dam and Lake Mead Overlook. Swap your bike for a horse as you ride horseback through the Red Rocks near Vegas. From there, it’s a quick trip back to Las Vegas to turn in the bikes. At which point you can head back to the hotels and casinos on the strip, or catch an evening flight home.
