View Cowboys and Canyon Tour in a larger map

Day 1. Arrive in Las Vegas, & settle in to our themed hotel, right on the city’s famous Strip. This evening, we’ll all get together in the Harley-Davidson Café for a welcome meal, & celebrate the start of the adventure! Afterwards, take in the fantastic sights of Las Vegas – from the beautiful dancing waters of the Bellagio, to the calm canals complete with singing Gondoliers at the Venetian. Check it all out, maybe have a little flutter, lose your jetlag & acclimatise to the heat.

Day 2. This morning, you’re free to do as you please until we meet up later to collect our trusty mounts, which we’ll be riding across deserts, through canyons, & over mountains in the coming days. But first, you have another evening to enjoy the hustle & bustle of Las Vegas, & prepare for an early start in the morning.

Day 3. Saddle up & move ‘em out for an early ride along The Strip as we leave the city (& the traffic) behind, & head through the Valley of Fire State Park, for our first taste of the dramatic scenery that will become a hallmark of this tour. We’ll stop for brunch in a one-horse town, then onward, following the winding course of the Virgin River to our overnight at Zion Canyon. Stable your steel mount for the evening, & take the free shuttle bus to explore the canyon, or maybe enjoy a refreshing swim in the pool, against the dramatic backdrop of majestic peaks. 189 miles

Day 4. Zion is one of the west’s most stunning National Parks, & the ride through it is one of our absolute favourites. Experience the dramatic scenery, closeness to nature, & wonderful colours of the rocky canyon as we climb the winding switchbacks to the cool green plateau above. We continue on towards Bryce Canyon, to marvel at the fascinating hoodoos & rock formations, & later we’ll have the chance to have dinner at a Cowboy Cookout, or watch real cowboys in action at the rodeo! 81 miles

Day 5. Pull on those cowboy boots for today’s scenic ride on the ‘Million Dollar Road’ & the ridge of The Hogback, with steep drop-offs on both sides enabling spectacular views of the Grand Staircase-Escalante area. A ride through Capitol Reef National Park with its twisting canyons, massive domes, and sandstone spires will have you reaching for your camera yet again, but save some room for more photos as we descend the switchbacks & ride on through the Valley of the Gods. On arrival at our hotel, make like the old cowboys with a swim in the San Juan River to refresh you after a long day in the saddle! 287 miles

Day 6. A morning visit to Monument Valley is not to be missed, to see the awe-inspiring formations of buttes & mesas, familiar through many films & TV adverts. We’ll cross into Arizona, & ride through the Painted Desert for a traditional Navajo lunch. Then ride on to the Grand Canyon for our overnight stay, in plenty of time to watch the colourful sunset over the biggest (& most beautiful) hole in the ground you ever did see! 193 miles

Day 7. Look out for wildlife as we leave the Grand Canyon area this morning, & head down to Flagstaff on Route 66. Picking up the scenic road through Oak Creek Canyon, we carry on to Sedona, which is characterised by its massive red rock formations. 165 miles

Day 8. Today we join some of the most scenic parts of the iconic Route 66, through Seligman, Kingman & over the twisty Sitgreaves Pass into the quaint old mining town of Oatman, calling in at Mother Road Harley-Davidson for souvenir T-shirts en route. We overnight on Route 66, where our hotel is near  the banks of the Colorado River.  220 miles

Day 9. We get our kicks on Route 66 for the last time this trip. Then we cross the spectacular Hoover Dam into Nevada, & mosey back to Las Vegas. Time to return our trusty steeds & hang up our cowboy hats, & later maybe meet up for a farewell meal, & try to win the holiday money back on the tables! 161 miles

Day 10. Depart for airport to fly home.
