If there is an image that is quintessentially Americana representing freedom, the wide open spaces and the power of nature it is that of the great Canyonlands of Utah.
MotoDiscovery has created a five night dual purpose motorcycling excursion dedicated to bringing you one jaw dropping vista after another exploring the wealth of riding treasures surrounding Moab, Utah.
Highlights
- Your journey begins in Durango, Colorado. With over a dozen daily connecting flights from major cities across the USA you will find this tour to waste no time in getting you into the heart of the Southwest’s best off road riding.
- This event requires that you have had some off road riding experience as one can expect moments of challenge. Alternative routes and activities can be suggested for riders who may find themselves in conditions that exceed their skill levels.
- Near Durango, the cliff dwellings of the Ancestral Pueblo peoples (600 -1300 A.D.) at Mesa Verde National Park will be a window into the lives of America’s first inhabitants.
- Canyonlands National Park is 527 square miles of raw beauty, blessed with over 300 days of sunshine a year. The White Rim Trail is one of America’s epic rides and certainly will be a highlight of this MotoDiscovery expedition.
- Arches National Park has over 2,000 sandstone arches, the highest density of these naturally occurring formations in the world.
- Adventure in Style will hold true on this riding event as we have selected memorable accommodations. MotoDiscovery style means some fun dining too so bring an appetite.
- You may ride your own dual sport motorcycle or rent an expedition prepared machine from our fleet.
- Maintaining small and intimate group size limited to only nine motorcycles is an added value of this event. This ride is also the perfect platform for a custom designed tour. Contact MotoDiscovery on how we can prepare the perfect ride for you, your family and friends. Looking for a father & son bonding experience? It won’t get any better than this!
- Moab will be your three night hub of activities. Worldwide this town is known as an active outdoor recreation center and for its thriving art community. While the MotoDiscovery Canyonlands Expedition promises opportunities for exceptional riding, one can opt to take advantage of other pursuits such as river rafting, bicycling or just relaxing. You will appreciate the flexible nature of this event where the ride is just part of the fun.
