Your chosen Palm Springs hotel
Day 3 – Kingman
Enjoy a scenic ride through Joshua Tree National Park where you will see amazing colours, rock canyons and more kind of cacti than you ever knew existed. Do the loop to Twentynine Palms, continue a few miles and follow the Old Mother Road – via Amboy, Essex and Needles.

Your chosen Kingman hotel
Day 4 – Williams
Your ride continues down Memory Lane and you stick with the ‘Road of all Roads’ until you arrive in Williams. This is your gateway to the Grand Canyon. Explore the majestic canyon, which is far larger than anything you can imagine.
Your chosen Williams hotel
Day 5 – Page
Continue on Route 64, which is breathtaking in its desolation – that is until you reach Highway 89 at Cameron. Turn left and head towards Page. You are in Navajo Country here – legend has it that this barren land was a bewitched place, where the trees died of fear. You will be spending the night here in Page.
Your chosen Page hotel
Day 6 – Springdale
From Page, take the highway west and cruise the Vermillion Cliffs. About 8 miles out of Page you will enter Utah where the scenery dissipates and the long straight roads change little until you get to the section of Grande Escalante – arches striped red, brown and white dot the landscape here. At Mount Carmel Junction you pick up the highway that will take you all the way to Zion National Park.
Compared to Yosemite and the Grand Canyon, Zion exudes a stronger sense of nature. Check out the Seven-Mile Zion Park Scenic Drive – a great ride! You continue a few more miles into St, George, where you will spend the night.
Your chosen Springdale hotel
Day 7 – Las Vegas
En route to Las Vegas today on Hwy 15, you might want to stop at the historic town of Mesquite, situated at the Stateline of Nevada and Arizona.

Your chosen Las Vegas hotel
Day 8 – Lone Pine
You are leaving Las Vegas today on a route which will lead you west through the Death Valley – a lonely stretch, no twists and turns, just rolling desert. After defeating Death Valley you head on to Lone Pine, which is a purely American experience…more than 300 Western movies were filmed here.
Your chosen Lone Pine hotel
Day 9 – El Portal
From Lone Pine you take Hwy 395 with impressive mountains and straight runs. Continue north and you will blaze down the road with the Sierra Nevada’s on the left and the Inyo Mountains on the right. The spicy fragrance of the desert is just as bracing as the chill of the mountain air – enjoy this motorcycle friendly road! Ride up to the nice town of Lee Vining, where you enter the Tioga Pass and then head all the way to Yosemite Village.
Your chosen El Portal hotel
Day 10 – Santa Rosa
Today your journey will take you up north to Sonoma County, home of well-known wineries and hot springs. We suggest taking Highway 99 from Modesto to Lodi, where you enter Highway 12, which will take you all the way to Santa Rosa.

Breathtaking views of the coves and inlets of the Pacific Coastline are yours as you are heading for Monterey. You might like to explore some of the Santa Cruz Mountain back roads and we recommend you stop for a cup of coffee at Alice’s Restaurant at famous Skyline Boulevard – a must for every biker! In Monterey, enjoy life at Cannery Row or visit the Bay Aquarium. This is your home for the night.
Your chosen Monterey hotel

Your chosen Pismo Beach hotel
