Sturgis rally 13-day Tour

Day 1 Arrive in Salt Lake City This is the start date of a motorcycle road trip of a life time!

Day 2 Salt Lake City to Park City. This morning, you’ll collect your trusty mounts, which you’ll be riding across deserts, through canyons, & over mountains in the coming days. You’ll ride to meet your friendly tour guides, who will be arriving at your Park City ski resort hotel between 17.00 & 18.00, where we will introduce you to the rest of the tour participants. 30 miles

Day 3 Park City to Jackson Hole        This morning we’ll join the freeway for a while, then on to Bear Lake. We’ll cross briefly into Idaho, before entering Wyoming & on to our overnight in the cowboy town of Jackson Hole, in the foothills of the Grand Teton Mountains. There’s a great buzz in this little town, you could try supper at a cowboy cookout, a covered wagon ride around the square, or just stroll around & soak up the vibrant atmosphere. 273 miles

Day 4 Jackson Hole To Cody   Today we’ll ride through Yellowstone, where a visit to Old Faithful to see the most famous geyser in the world erupt is an absolute must! There’s also a chance we’ll see some bison, & perhaps even moose or elk. After lunch at Buffalo Bill’s former hunting lodge, we head east through the Sleeping Giant Mountains on our way to Cody for our two night stay. You have the option of watching a cowboy shootout on Main Street, or a not-to-be-missed visit to the Rodeo to see the real cowboys doing their stuff! 176 miles

Day 5 Free Day Cody By popular demand, we have included a second night in Cody, to enable you to explore this great little town. The Buffalo Bill Historic Centre provides a fascinating insight into the man, the battle of Little Bighorn, & life back in the days of the brave pioneers who helped to shape America’s history. Or take a 175 mile loop ride up to the Beartooth Pass in Montana, to enjoy the challenging switchbacks, & beautiful mountain scenery of the Chief Joseph Highway . Alternatively, you may prefer to return to Yellowstone, to take a second look at this fantastic National Park. It’s your day – enjoy it!

Day 6 Cody to Buffalo Leaving Cody, we’ll be riding the sweeping roads & switchbacks of the Bighorn Mountains, & with the summit at almost 9500ft, look out for snow! After descending to Bear Lodge Resort for a delicious lunch, it’s back on the bikes for even more breathtaking scenery & brilliant riding roads. Tonight you get the chance to dine in the same restaurant used by Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid! We’ll stay in the historic and beautifully restored Occidental Hotel, for a real taste of western life at the turn of the last century. 184 miles

Days 7-10 Deadwood & Sturgis We’re heading for Sturgis today, South Dakota. We’ll be in the beautiful Black Hills Region for the next 4 days, giving us plenty of time to soak up the crazy atmosphere of the world’s biggest motorcycle rally! Indulge in a beer at One Eyed Jack’s or the Broken Spoke Saloon, & watch the endless succession of bikes parade up & down Main Street. We stay in the lively old gold rush town of Deadwood, around 15 miles from Sturgis. Rich in pioneer history, Deadwood hosts the cemetery where Calamity Jane lies beside her friend Wild Bill Hickock, who was famously shot here in 1876. Over the next few days you’re going to see more Harleys than you’ve ever seen before, but if you feel you’ve overdosed on steel & chrome, you can always head out to the peaceful tranquility of Badlands National Park, picturesque Spearfish Canyon, or maybe visit Devil’s Tower for a ‘Close Encounter.’  199 miles

Day 11 Deadwood to Lusk Leaving Sturgis early we’ll ride through Keystone, & stop for a photo at Mt Rushmore, then on to visit the fascinating Crazy Horse Monument. Today we’re heading back into Wyoming & southbound through Custer State Park, where buffalo still roam, alongside bighorn sheep & cute little prairie dogs on the plains. Later we’ll ride along part of the notoriously dangerous old Deadwood-Cheyenne stagecoach route, where robberies, horse thefts & murders were commonplace in the late 19^th century. 200 miles                                         

Day 12 Lusk to Loveland Continuing south into Colorado & towards Denver, we’ll be visiting the old Fort Laramie. No longer the old wooden frontier fort you may expect, but a fascinating living history museum. After a visit to Thunder Mountain Harley-Davidson, we’ll spend tonight at Loveland, on the edge of the beautiful Rocky Mountain National Park. 232 miles

Day 13 Loveland to Denver. Departure This morning, bid your fellow riders a fond farewell as you ride off to return your bikes to Eaglerider, and fly home. 55 miles
