| Day 1 Scottsdale to Sedona – 237 mi |
You’ll approach Sedona through the Western passage, via the Prescott – Jerome scenic ride. The blue water of the cactus studded Lake Pleasant, the greens of the Prescott and Kaibab National Forests and the colorful formations of Red Rock Country will entertain your eyes. |
|
| Day 2 Sedona to Grand Canyon – 144 mi |
As you head north from Sedona you’ll ride through the spectacular Oak Creek Canyon. A side trip to Williams will give a hint of Route 66 feeling to the ride. You'll witness the sunset at one of the 7 Wonders of the Word, the Grand Canyon. |
|
| Day 3 Grand Canyon to Monument Valley - 186 mi |
Hang onto your camera as you enjoy the breathtaking views of several more lookouts before leaving the Grand Canyon behind. The Cameron Trading Post, Dinosaur tracks and the Elephant Buttes break up the ride leading to the iconic Monument Valley, a sacred place for the Navajo Indians as well as the cradle of Western movies. |
|
| Day 4 Monument Valley to Canyon de Chelly - 220 mi |
| Did you ever ride through four states in a matter of a few hours? Now you can do it! Utah, Colorado, New Mexico and Arizona will all be on your itinerary before we arrive to Canyon de Chelly, where history and Native American culture meet geography and unforgettable scenery. |
|
| Day 5 Canyon de Chelly to Arizona White Mountains - 247 mi |
After a scenic morning ride along the South Rim of Canyon de Chelly we head south in order to settle in the Arizona White Mountains. Before the terrain changes to forested hills, you'll see the multihued Painted Desert and the magical transformation of wood to stone in the Petrified Forest. The ultimate eye candy. As we arrive to Greer, you'd swear you've ridden into a different country. |
|
Day 6 Route 666 / Devil's Highway Loop - 297 mi |
Riders who rolled on two wheels from Alaska to South Africa qualify this ride among the TOP 10 in their life. More than 6000 feet elevation difference, over thousand curves through close to 300 scenic miles is the summary of this loop. The legendary Route 666, also known as the Devil's Highway was first traveled by Spanish conquistadors centuries ago. The road has improved since then, but the dramatic scenery is still unchanged. |
|
| Day 7 – Back to Scottsdale via Salt River Canyon - 230 mi |
Every journey comes to an end. Fortunately, ours has a finale which is just another spectacular ride. We'll check out how life went on in a real frontier outpost at Fort Apache, then ride back to Scottsdale via the twisties of the Salt River Canyon and Superstitious Mountains. |
