Our trip starts and ends in Las Vegas, Nevada, and will lead us on a 2,300-mile loop of the best the Southwest can offer. We will visit the 'Mighty Five', as the collection of Utah national parks is known: Zion, Bryce, Capitol Reef, Canyonlands, and Arches are all worth visiting at least once in our lives. Little mining towns in Colorado will be on our route too, and we will have a full day to explore the majestic Grand Canyon before heading back to Las Vegas via a stretch of the famous Route 66 in Arizona. Last but not least, we will also have the opportunity to explore a part of California's Death Valley for a couple of days. All in all, fourteen days, five states, and memories to last a lifetime!

Today we will cross into Colorado, after riding on the La Sal mountains in the morning and enjoying a few extraordinary views from the roadside. River canyons and twisty secondary roads are the main attractions for a good part of the day. Our day journey to Durango, in southern Colorado, will take us through US550, or Million Dollar Highway as it is more commonly known.
We will stop at the quaint little towns of Ouray and Silverton, and climb up to 11,000 ft (3,300 m) on the Red Mountain Pass, one of the three high-altitude passes along our way. In Durango, our reward for yet another fantastic day will be a finger-licking traditional BBQ feast that is famous all around the area.

On our second rest day of the trip, you will be hard pressed to pick your choices.

The stretch between Seligman and Kingman ranks amongst the most interesting of the whole famous route, and we will see plenty of real 'Americana' in picturesque road stops and charming old-time motels.

We will spend the day riding around the Death Valley, exploring out-of-this-world views and experiencing the beauty of one of Earth’s most desolated landscapes. It will be hot for sure, as Death Valley is famous for its record-high temperatures, but we will have plenty of water to keep ourselves hydrated and fit for a most memorable riding day. As an alternative for those who would prefer a little rest, the pool at Stovepipe Wells provides a good excuse for some relaxing time in the middle of the desert.
