Day 1 Motorcycle touring and cruiser tour Wild West USA guided tour

After arriving at the Los Angeles airport and picking up your luggage (Baggage claim), please exit the arrival hall to the traffic island (outside) with the “red” sign with the writing “Hotel and Courtesy Shuttle”. The hotel offers a free shuttle bus service every 30 minutes. At the hotel reception, you will be met by one of our friendly tour guides.

When all tour participants have arrived, we meet for a welcome greeting and refreshment, with introductions. The evening’s program is getting to know each other, and we eat dinner together in true American style. Those who are not tired after the long journey may go to a local bar nearby.

Day 2 San Diego - 212

Day 2 Motorcycle touring and cruiser tour Wild West USA guided tour

We begin our Wild West tour! When everyone is ready on the bikes we embark on our 4.400 km long journey. LA disappears behind us as we head south for a unique adventure full of history, excitement, and fun! This first driving day will bring some city, some highway and a wonderful drive along the legendary Pacific Coast Highway 1 towards fun San Diego. We start slowly to tune everyone into the California driving conditions and temperatures. In approx. 30 min our first stop is Long Beach, where we make an extra security check of the bikes, equipment, and drivers before our tour begins for real.

Get ready for a tasty lunch at Ruby’s Diner in Laguna Beach. Milkshakes the old-fashioned way = highly recommended! Thereafter, we head straight to San Diego, where we drive to Historic Old Town, check in to the hotel, and we spend the rest of the day on everything this fun city has to offer: the USS Midway, Maritime Museum, Little Italy, Old Town.

Day 3 San Diego - Blythe - 362

Day 3 Motorcycle touring and cruiser tour Wild West USA guided tour

We leave beautiful and fun San Diego to spend the day driving on fantastic motorcycle roads; Historic Route 94 and 98, plus Old Hwy 80. The roads are curvy and pass through spectacular scenery. Enjoy + have your camera ready!

During most of the day, we will drive along the Mexico border, which is well guarded by the U.S. Border Patrol. We eat a Mexican lunch at a popular local diner in Calexico.

After our stop in Calexico, we continue northeast through the Imperial Sand Dunes, which is a very special experience. It’s like driving through a sandy desert with sand dunes on each side of the road. Guaranteed a very rare experience. We make a stop in the middle of the “desert” before continuing to Blythe. In the evening, we go to a local steakhouse and eat a real American steak.

Day 4 Blythe - Sedona - 386

Day 4 Motorcycle touring and cruiser tour Wild West USA guided tour

We start the day with a transport leg through dry prairie landscape, before we start riding the spectacular motorcycle roads to Prescott. Hwy 89 is one of Arizona’s best motorcycle roads, and some parts are somewhat challenging but very enjoyable! We cannot highly enough praise this riding experience.

After a nice lunch in Prescott, we continue driving on fun & curvy motorcycle roads to Jerome ghost town. Thereafter, we drive to the breathtaking natural preserve Oak Creek Canyon, where you will be surrounded by spectacular scenery and rock formations. This natural paradise might look familiar since many famous cowboy movies have been recorded here. Oak Creek Canyon is the second most popular tourist attraction in Arizona, after the Grand Canyon. Our last stop is Sedona, in the heart of Oak Creek Canyon, a unique Indian city with dramatic natural surroundings from another world. Sedona is known for its spiritual energy and a thriving cultural community.

Day 5 Sedona - Tuba City - 306

Day 5 Motorcycle touring and cruiser tour Wild West USA guided tour

This is the tour highlight for many. Welcome to the Grand Canyon! We start the day by driving fun & curvy motorcycle roads on our way out of Oak Creek Canyon, passing Flagstaff, touching by Historic Route 66, before continuing through beautiful scenery. Just before the “entrance” to the Grand Canyon is the helicopter base. Those who have pre-ordered the helicopter tour will get an experience they will never forget. To hoover in the air over one of the world’s seven wonders and experience this natural wonder up close is almost magical. Highly recommended! NB: Helicopter rides must be booked separately in advance.

After the helicopter tour, we ride a short leg to the visitor center, where we see the world’s most-watched Imax movie. When you see the film, it feels almost like standing inside the Grand Canyon. We also eat lunch here. Thereafter, we drive into the Grand Canyon and spend the rest of the day here. Be ready for this years’ vacation photoshoot. Afterward, we set course towards another very famous natural phenomenon; Monument Valley, but make an overnight stop in Tuba city on our way.

Day 6 Tuba City - Hanksville - 400

Day 6 Motorcycle touring and cruiser tour Wild West USA guided tour

We start the day by driving to Monument Valley, one of the world’s most photographed natural phenomena. Monument Valley cannot be described in words; it must be experienced. Up close, we experience the classic Wild West landscape of sandstone rock formations. Everything has a reddish shade and is beautiful to look at. It is only when you are in Monument Valley that you will understand how much this area has influenced your perspective on the wild west. These natural surroundings are also other places, but not as perfect as exhibited here. When we ride amongst these majestic rock formations, we are in the middle of the Navajo Indians’ area, so you just must get the spiritual mood up.

We continue to Mexican Hat, another natural phenomenon. Is it a sombrero or stone formation? Then we head north to Lake Powell and Utah’s national parks. This will be a driving distance you never will forget. We are surrounded by amazing rock formations and have a three-dimensional height perspective. All-day we drive through exceptional beautiful and spectacular scenery, with fun motorcycle roads. Today’s driving one of the tour’s absolute highlights! We drive through Goosenecks State Park, Natural Bridges National Monument, Glen Canyon, Lake Powell, Goblin Valley, and Horseshoe Canyon.

Day 7 Hanksville - Hurricane - 428

Day 7 Motorcycle touring and cruiser tour Wild West USA guided tour

We continue our amazing and spectacular drive through Utah. The national parks come one after another like beads on a string; Goblin Canyon, Capitol Reef, and Otter Creek State Park. Best of all is our ride up and down the elevations of the Escalante staircase. We believe you will not be able to stop smiling! One of the tour highlights is the magic of Bryce Canyon. Bryce Canyons’ rock formations are difficult to describe, an experience on par with the Grand Canyon.

We continue through Dixie National Forest to another great National Park; Zion. Besides seeing some of the world’s finest rock formations, the roads are particularly curvy here – “the switchbacks of Zion”! Compared to Yosemite and Grand Canyon, Zion radiates a more aesthetic appreciation of nature.

Day 8 Hurricane - Las Vegas - 274

Day 8 Motorcycle touring and cruiser tour Wild West USA guided tour

Get ready for another amazing day! We start by driving through spectacular Zion. Besides seeing some of the world’s finest rock formations, the roads are particularly curvy here – “the switchbacks of Zion”! Compared to Yosemite and Grand Canyon, Zion radiates a more aesthetic appreciation of nature.

When we come out of Zion, it’s straight ahead to the neon-lit gambling oasis Las Vegas. We arrive at lunchtime, park the bikes and spend the rest of the day exploring this exciting city. This evening you can explore the famous “Sin City” on your own. Enjoy! You are in one of the most fun cities in the world.

Las Vegas has it all, amazing architecture, unique shows, casinos and all kinds of entertainment. Vegas is never boring! Most attractions are within walking distance. We highly recommend taking a trip to Caesar’s Palace, Bellagio, MGM, Stardust, Treasure Island, The Venetian, Mirage, Wyatt and The Fashion Show Mall (over 200 stores). At the Mirage you will be able to enjoy the evening volcanic eruptions every 30 minutes, turning the garden into a flame show. Inside the casino are rare white tigers. The water show outside the Bellagio is also a memory for life.

Day 9 Las Vegas - Lone Pine - 400

Day 9 Motorcycle touring and cruiser tour Wild West USA guided tour

We head west out of Las Vegas, where the road takes us to Death Valley – the hottest place on the planet outside the Equator! There is almost no shade anywhere and the heat is extreme – yet nature is wonderful & exciting. We eat an early lunch in the middle of Death Valley. Afterward, we drive through a series of turns and mountains and find ourselves located more than 30 meters below sea level. We continue west, ride Sequoia National Park to Lone Pine, where we stay overnight.

Day 10 Lone Pine - Jamestown - 386

Day 10 Motorcycle touring and cruiser tour Wild West USA guided tour

We start the day by driving to Bishop, where we will enjoy a coffee and some delicious pastries at the local bakery. Thereafter, we drive to Mammoth Lakes, known for mountain-biking in summer and skiing in winter. We continue north to Tioga Pass before we cross Yosemite National Park. We ride through enormous granite mountains and curvy motorcycle roads. This will require some concentration until we approach the mother of the mother of all national parks. Yosemite draws thousands of images and rises to dizzying heights. You will experience the beautiful, wild, tame and abundant nature that spreads around you. We will enjoy an outdoor lunch in the open wild Yosemite scenery.

We end the day by driving to a fun old miner village; Jamestown. On our way to Jamestown, we will ride on twisty & challenging motorcycle roads. We are confident you will have a big smile on your face. But please drive very cautiously!

Afterward, we drive across this famous bridge and into San Francisco, where we will stay near the Embarcadero and all its attractions.

Day 12 San Francisco - San Francisco - 0

Day 12 Motorcycle touring and cruiser tour Wild West USA guided tour

When you wake up in funny San Francisco you might understand why Frank Sinatra left his heart in this city. The city is a funky, individualistic and surprisingly small place – certainly the most liberal city in the US.

San Francisco really has a European feel and you have many more opportunities for sightseeing than it is possible to adapt to our short stay here. Make sure you visit Fisherman’s Wharf while dropping by small shops and street cafes famous for some of the best seafood dishes in the world. Feel free to hop on one of the city’s famous “Cable Cars” which is a moving landmark and the heart of this amazing city! Other good options are the prison island Alcatraz (must be booked in advance), harbor cruises, Chinatown, Lombard Street (one of America’s curviest streets). Those who wish can take a road trip to Napa Valley and taste wines.

Day 13 San Francisco - Monterey - 192

Day 13 Motorcycle touring and cruiser tour Wild West USA guided tour

Get ready for some amazing driving experiences – this day is one of the tours’ definite highlights! We drive on the legendary Pacific Highway 1 by the spectacular coastline and experience our first taste of one of the most amazing motorcycle roads in the world. Stunning views of caves and rock formations, there’ll be plenty of opportunities to take great pictures. We also stop by the famous biker bar “Alice’s” & drive through Big Basin Redwood State Park, which is packed with curvy & narrow motorcycle roads and the famous wide Redwood trees. We make several stops along Pacific Highway 1 and the Redwood forest before we head to Monterey.

Monterey is home to the world-famous Laguna Seca Automobile (known motorcycle racetrack). When we arrive at this spectacular seaside city, we will spend the afternoon along Cannery Row, which is packed with beautiful hotels, shops, and restaurants. We eat dinner at the famous Fisherman’s Wharf.

Day 14 Monterey - Solvang - 339

Day 14 Motorcycle touring and cruiser tour Wild West USA guided tour

We’ll say it again: it is hard to believe that nature can be more beautiful, but today’s ride will simply take your breath away. We drive the highly appraised Pacific Highway 1 with mountains on our left side and the Pacific Ocean on our right side. As we continue past the Big Sur, you will feel the warm California sun together with delicious salty sea air on your skin. There will be several miles with fantastic views and great formations where the Santa Lucia Mountains meet the Pacific Ocean, creating one of the most beautiful stretches of the California coast. Today you will feel a delicious warm breeze and take in a spectacular sunset.

We drive through the beach resort Pismo Beach to the “Danish” city; Solvang (sister town of Aarhus), where we live in a Danish Gjæstgiveri, eat at a Danish Brewery restaurant and eat breakfast at a Danish bakery. We can even go behind the scenes to greet the Danish baker.

Day 15 Solvang - Los Angeles - 238

Day 15 Motorcycle touring and cruiser tour Wild West USA guided tour

We say goodbye to Solvang and continue our wonderful trip to southern California, home of the Beach Boys, Hollywood and some of the most beautiful scenery in the country. We stop for lunch in Santa Barbara, referred to by many as America’s Riviera because of its similar climate and geography of the French and Italian Riviera.

Having digested Santa Barbara, we cruise down Pacific Coast Highway 1 to the famous Neptune’s Net biker restaurant & Malibu. Thereafter, we head straight to Los Angeles. We return the bikes, take off our boots and replace driving gear with light summer clothing. We spend the afternoon in the vicinity of the hotel.
