Daily Itinerary |
 |
Day 1: Arrival in Las Vegas. Airport transfer, motorcycle handover, kickoff meeting and our first dinner together! There is plenty of time to take in a Las Vegas Show or enjoy visiting the Las Vegas Strip.
|
 |
Day 2: Las Vegas to Lake Havasu City (~200 miles, 320 km). It's only a 200 mile ride to Lake Havasu City, but we'll pack a lot of Adventure into the first day on the road. Stop at Hoover Dam, then continue on one of the most beautiful (and motorcycle-friendly) remaining stretches of the original Route 66. Cross the stunning Sitgreaves Pass and wind your way along the most twisty section of Route 66 to the historic old mining town of Oatman, Arizona. Wild burrows (descendents of the pack animals used by 19th century prospectors) still wander free on the streets of the town.
We'll arrive at Lake Havasu in time to check out some qualifying heats at the IJSBA World Finals of Jet Skiing. You'll attend a welcome reception at our hotel, and receive VIP credentials for World Finals and other exclusive weekend activities. Then you’re free to experience Lake Havasu nightlife at the foot of the original London Bridge. |
 |
Day 3: Free Day at the IJSBA World Finals of Jet Skiing for an exciting day of intense jet ski racing. The top riders from over 80 nations will be battling it out for a world championship. And you'll enjoy riding a jet ski of your own that afternoon (approximately 90 minutes). Glide along the cool blue lake as the sun goes down – it’s like riding a motorcycle on the water. Dinner at a local restaurant is included, and we’ll toast the day during a hosted bar later that night.
|
 |
Day 4: Lake Havasu City to Sedona, Arizona (~260 miles, 420 km). Departing Lake Havasu, we'll take a very indirect route to one of Arizona's most popular motorcycling destinations - Sedona - located in the Upper Sonoran Desert of northern Arizona. Enjoy the "Red Rocks of Sedona" - a stunning array of sandstone formations that glow in bright orange and red when illuminated by the rising or setting sun. |
 |
Day 5: Sedona to Page (~250 miles, 400 km). From Sedona we'll ride to Grand Canyon Village, located on the south rim of the Grand Canyon. There will be plenty of stops at scenic overlooks as we ride the rim of the Grand Canyon. There will even be time for a helicopter flight over the Grand Canyon (must be booked in advance).
Dinner in Page will include live entertainment with country music at an authentic local western bar and restaurant.
|
 |
Day 6: Free Day in Page, or ride to Monument Valley (~250 miles, 400 km). It's an easy ride from Page to Monument Valley and back. There will even be time to visit the nearby Horseshoe Bend and Antelope Canyon.
|
 |
Day 7: Page to Springdale (Zion National Park) ( ~240 miles, 390 km). There's a more direct route from Page to Zion National Park, but we'll take the most scenic route into Utah - providing the opportunity to ride the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument - truly a motorcycling paradise. We'll ride through Zion National Park on the way to our evening stop in Springdale, Utah.
|
 |
Day 8: Springdale to Las Vegas (~ 200 miles, 320 kilometers). After leaving Springdale, we'll get on an interstate highway for the first time during our trip. Forget what you've heard about interstate highways begin boring - the stretch through northwestern Arizona is lovely and before you know it, we'll take the turnoff from the highway to ride through Nevada's Valley of Fire State Park - another favorite motorcycling destination and a highlight of the trip.
We'll arrive back in Las Vegas in time for another visit to the Las Vegas Strip and the opportunity to take in a famous Las Vegas show.
