Day 01: After
arrival in Las Vegas, arrange your transfer to the Excalibur Hotel and meet
the tour team in the hotel's "Rotunda" at 2:30pm (Guided Tour
Only). Overnight Day 02: Hualapai Indians have come up
with the latest thrill at Grand Canyon: The Sky Walk. At the canyons west rim
a structure of over 71 million pounds has been built to send chills down your
spine and comments of those who have been there range from "scary"
to "purely amazing". Don't worry; the bridge has been built to hold
the weight of 70 fully loaded 747's. Besides the bridge or Sky Walk the
package includes an excellent lunch and a visit to an authentic small
Hualapai village. During the transfer back to Las Vegas you reminisce about
the fantastic day you had. . Day 03:
One hour after leaving Las Vegas you reach the Valley of Fire. It is Nevada's
oldest and largest state park and derives its name from red sandstone
formations, formed from great shifting sand dunes during the age of
dinosaurs, Ancient Indian rock art or petroglyph are 3.000 year old proof of
Basket Maker people and Anazasi Indians that used to inhabit this area. In
the afternoon you are getting to your hotel in Zion National Park; just in time for a short hike or a
relaxing dip in the pool. Day 04:
Zion National Park is located in the far southwestern corner of Utah, where
the Colorado Plateau meets the mountains and valleys of the Great Basin.
There is something different about Zion - unlike Grand Canyon or Bryce Canyon
you are actually at the bottom of the rock formations and on perfect sweeping
curves you cruise your bikes through the park at slow speed. You stop several
times to take in the tremendous beauty of this park. After Zion and past
herds of buffalos you're on your way through Kaibab National Forest via
Kanab. You are heading towards Lake Powell which is more than 400 feet deep,
150 miles long and nearly 2,000 miles of shoreline. Lake Powell surrounds you
with spectacular rock canyons and towers before you arrive in Page. Day 05: Leaving
Page you can pay an optional visit to Antelope Canyon which is the most
visited slot canyon in the Southwest, partly because it is easily accessible
and by far the most publicised, and also since it is extremely beautiful,
with just the right combination of depth, width, length, rock colour and
ambient light; many other slot canyons are deeper, narrower or longer, and
some have rock that is even more colourful and sculptured. Through Navajoland
you are riding to Kayenta. Keep your eyes open for an original Hogan; an
igloo like structure made of clay that even today still provides a home for
some of the 13 Navajo families that still live in authentic style. You reach
Chinle and get ready for some rest and the upcoming adventure tomorrow. Day 06: Local
Navajo Indians will lead you on a great Jeep conversion through the Valley de
Chelly. Canyon de Chelly National Monument,as a unit of the National Park
Service, is located in northeastern Arizona, within the boundaries of the
Navajo Nation. This comparatively little-known canyon is not as immediately
spectacular as others in Arizona or Utah but it does have sheer walls rising
up to 1000 feet with many scenic overlooks, many well-preserved Anasazi ruins
and an insight into the present day life of the Navajo, who still inhabit and
cultivate the valley floor. Day 07: On
today's stage you are cruising into the state of New Mexico and stop at the Four
Corners National Monument, the only spot in the US where you can be in 4 US
states at the same time ( Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, and Utah. A little
later you arrive at the Mesa Verde National Park and you make a trip 800
years into the past. Ruins built into the rocks are witnesses to 800 years of
Anasazi Indians in this area. Day
08: From Mesa Verde to
Durango - take a trip on the most scenic Narrow Gauge Railway from Durango to
Silverton. Silverton got its name from the silver that has been detected
there in the past. Tonight you stay at The Strater Hotel, a famous landmark
hotel in Durango. Day
09: Today you are riding your
bikes from Durango via Monticello to Moab; at night you switch from your
motorcycles to lesser horsepower and can go horseback riding and enjoy the
Western life. Those that are not all that comfortable on a horse can watch a
rodeo. Day
10: On this stage you are
enjoying thousands of years old geological rock formations in Arches National
Park. Arches National Park is of course famous for the red arches of Entrada
sandstone that occur there in great profusion. Further on you are cruising
your bikes through Capitol Reef National Park; this road had to be made
especially for motorcycles. A great day of riding ends in Torrey, where you
stay overnight.. Day
11: Today’s ride takes you
from Torrey to Cedar City. You are
leaving the plateau and ride through the Dixie National forest into Cedar
City. Day
12: You take a different road
back to” Gamble Town” and pass the mysterious 'Area 51' which is world famous
for it’s UFO sightings and legendary stories of Alien bodies being stored
there. You head back into the gambler’s paradise Las Vegas and return your
bikes to the rental station. Later you get ready for a recap of this great
adventure at your good-bye dinner. Day
13: Departure from Las
Vegas - unless you have booked additional nights here in Las Vegas it's now
time to say Good-Bye to friends and tour guides. Wish you a pleasant trip back home and hope to see you back
next year for another amazing journey on two wheels. Harley Davidson Models / Spec & Facts
