15 Tage / 14 Nächte
Während dieser Tour besuchen Sie einige der schönsten US-Parks. Speziell an der Reise ist
die Tatsache, als dass Sie öfters zwei Mal am gleichen Ort übernachten (u.a. im Grand
Canyon und in Moab) und so die faszinierende Szenerie ohne Zeitdruck geniessen können.

Day 1: Los Angeles
0 mi / 0 km
Welcome to sunny Los Angeles, and the start of your incredible journey. EagleRider encourages you to arrive at least a day or
two early to shake the jet lag and to enjoy the beaches, amusement parks, or other sights of Southern California. Be sure to let
us know if you need help with your hotel bookings or tickets for excursions if you arrive early. We are more than happy to help!
We’ll get the group together in the hotel lobby for a quick orientation before heading out for our Welcome Reception and Dinner.
Day 2: Los Angeles - Palm Springs
107 mi / 172 km
Let’s ride! We kick off our adventure with a ride over three of Southern California’s most famous mountain passes; climbing to
elevations of over 7,000 feet before finding ourselves in the desert oasis of Palm Springs. This golf, spa, and party town has
been the desert retreat of California locals for years, and is still the place to see and be seen for the Los Angeles celebrity elite.
Tonight we will stroll the streets of Downtown Palm Springs and find a couple of our favorite watering holes to enjoy a few cold
drinks and some great food!
Day 3: Palm Springs - Day at Leisure
0 mi / 0 km
For those craving a bit of adventure, Palm Springs offers ATV tours, mountain horseback riding, amazing hiking and mountain
biking, and golf. If shopping is your “bag,” you will love the hundreds of boutiques or the two nearby Outlet Centers. If logging
some miles on your motorcycle is a must today, we will plan a 105 mile day ride that features two desert mountain passes; one
of which has an incredible 28 mile stretch of winding mountain road. And what better way to end a long day of riding, adventure,
or shopping than with a group sunset pool party!
Day 4: Palm Springs to Pirates Cove
190 mi / 306 km
We’ll get an early start today to give us plenty of time to enjoy the unforgettable riding and scenery that is Joshua Tree National
Park. It is hard to imagine how a desert landscape dotted with rock formations can be so amazing and beautiful, so this is something you have to ride and experience to fully appreciate. After Joshua Tree National Park we will pick up a bit of Historic Route
66 before descending into the valleys of Eastern California and intersecting the path of the mighty Colorado River. Our home for
the next two days is one of our favorite, Pirate Cove Resort and Marina. You will have to see it to believe it!

To call this a “Free Day” is a bit of an understatement. Today will actually be filled with adventures on the shores of the Colorado. Pirate Cove is the quintessential boater’s paradise, and today we will be on the water, in the water, soaring over the water,
and, well, you get the point. Choose one or all of the adventures that Pirate Cove has to offer: pontoon boating, jet skis, water
skiing, 1,000 ft. motorized zip line, World Famous Palapa Bar, fishing, or just relaxing under an umbrella on the sandy beach. For
those up for a ride today, we will visit two of the locations for scenes from the movie “Easy Rider” before heading down river to
grab some lunch on the shores of Lake Havasu City. Tonight we will enjoy a private bonfire on the beach.
Day 6: Pirates Cove to Grand Canyon
224 mi / 361 km
Time to swap your flip flops for riding boots once again as we set our sights on Grand Canyon National Park. Along the way we
will visit the historic Route 66 ghost town of Oatman, AZ, and then rumble alongside 100 car freight trains in the open desert
before stopping in the Route 66 town of Kingman for lunch. We’ll continue our journey along Route 66 with stops to visit the
Hualapai Indians in Peach Springs, and a quick shave with Angel Delgadillo in Seligman, Arizona. It won’t be long now before we
finish the day sitting on the edge of the Grand Canyon in stunned silence as we watch the sunset cast a breathtaking palate of
color along the canyon walls that lead to the Colorado River almost one mile below our feet.
Day 7: Grand Canyon day at leisure
0 mi / 0 km
How much do you want to squeeze in to one day? Well, the Grand Canyon has it all! Helicopter rides, mule rides to the bottom of
the canyon, hiking, biking, and anything else you can think of. Looking for a ride today? We’ll organize a day ride to visit the
7,500 ft. elevation mountain town of Flagstaff, AZ and back; taking time to stop and enjoy the overlook of Sunset Crater and the
surrounding lava fields. Be sure to let us know if you want to enjoy the helicopter tour over the Grand Canyon during your booking, as spaces fill up quickly and we want to be sure to guarantee you a spot.
Day 8: Grand Canyon to Monument Valley

While every day on this tour is an adventure in itself, this is one day that may end up being at the top of the list in terms of
sheer awe inspiring scenery and riding. We’ll kick off the day riding 18 miles of the East Rim of the Grand Canyon, stopping often
to enjoy the many breathtaking vistas. By mid-afternoon we will find ourselves on a private escorted tour with the Navajo Tribe
deep in the heart of Monument Valley. You have seen the photos and dreamed of this moment, but until you are sitting at a
bonfire under the shadow of a 1,000 foot rock monument, with the Navajo People playing their native music in rhythmic chorus
of drums, hand carved flutes, and voices; only then will you realize how magical this place really is. This is the real America, and
these are her First People.
Day 9: Monument Valley to Moab
150 mi / 242 km
And just when you thought it couldn’t get any better…today comes along. For unbelievable scenery, mind blowing rock formations, and great riding there is no place in the West that compares to Utah. Today we enjoy some of the best that this beautiful state has to offer, as we travel from Monument Valley to Natural Bridges Monument, Canyonlands National Park, and Moab
National Park. We could write this description for hours, but we will opt to simply leave this day to your imagination. Just one
hint: Dream Big.
Day 10: Moab day at leisure
0 mi / 0 km
River rafting, guided dirt bike tours, ATV rental and tours, world-class mountain biking, jeep tours, hiking, and fishing. We hope
this is enough to keep you busy for one day! Wanna ride? No problem. We’ll organize a 4 hour ride that will equal any of the
activities above and still give you time to squeeze in some time to play in the dirt.
Day 11: Moab to Bryce Canyon

265 mi / 427 km
At the risk of sounding redundant; get ready for another indescribable day of riding in the heart of Utah. Today’s riding and
sightseeing highlights include: Arches National Park, Goblin Valley, Capitol Reef National Park, and the Grand Staircase – Escalante National Monument. Finish the day off by rumbling in to our hotel in the heart of Bryce Canyon and you might just have
to pinch yourself to be sure this is all real. Tonight we watch the sunset from “Inspiration Point” in the heart of Bryce Canyon.
Day 12: Bryce Canyon day at leisure
0 mi / 0 km
While there are many things to do and enjoy in and around Bryce Canyon National Park, we always recommend a day ride, hiking, or both. Bryce Canyon is home to some of the best hiking trails in Utah. It is also home to some of best motorcycle roads in
the world. We’ll organize both today for the group, or you can grab a map and venture out on your own. Either way, we will see
you at the BBQ dinner tonight to swap stories, photos, and recommendations for our next visit to this incredible natural wonder.
Day 13: Bryce Canyon to Zion National Park
137 mi / 221 km
Our ride today will continue our tour of Southern Utah and the incredible riding and scenery we have become accustomed to on
this journey. We will hug the shores of Panguitch Lake before climbing the pass over Blue Spring Mountain and Cedar Breaks
National Monument. We could end the ride right here and all would be satisfied, but we’ll press on. After stopping to dip our toes
in the frigid mountain spring waters of Navajo Lake, we’ll pick up Hwy 9 leading in to an EagleRider Tour Team “All Time Top 5
Places to Ride,” Zion National Park. Riding through Zion is like riding a motorcycle through the bottom of the Grand Canyon. It
would be an injustice to try and describe the view of Zion as the endless canyon walls and vibrant colors explode like fireworks
as we emerge from the mile long tunnel that cuts through the mountains protecting the canyon floor. We’ll check in at our hotel
quickly then turn the group loose to ride, walk or run Zion. We highly recommend taking the shuttle into the heart of the valley,
as cars and motorcycles are not allowed.

Day 14: Zion National Park to Las Vegas
196 mi / 316 km
Sure, we could just take the highway from Zion to Vegas, but why would we want to do something crazy like that?! Let’s end the
ride with a journey through the absolute best motorcycle road in Nevada, and one of the Top 20 in the country; Valley of Fire
State Park. Valley of Fire is like riding a motorcycle on the moon, if it was painted bright red. One minute you are riding through
the Nevada desert and the next you are riding through narrow canyons of the most vibrant and amazing red and brown hues
imaginable. This place is simply awesome, and we can’t think of a better way to end a life changing journey. Tonight, we celebrate with our new family of riders. Chances are we will have a great plan in place for our next journey together before the first
round of drinks is finished before dinner!
