"Run to Sturgis" 2012 14 Day Fully Guided Tour [ 2,768km / 1,739miles ] [ Utah, Colorado, South Dakota, Wyoming, Montana ]

Tour Briefing with your guide, meet'n'greet & Welcome Dinner (optional)

This morning we pickup our bikes, leave Salt Lake City behind and ride past the many ski resorts on curvy winding roads.

This is your first taste of what is to come..

Now we are in country sides full of wildlife, we visit Dinosaurland NP and finish up with some great lakeside rides.

Tonight we stay in Grand Lake only a couple of miles from the entrance to Rocky Mountain NP.

We enter Rocky Mountain NP, keep your cameras handy, there are kodak moments around each bend as we climb to 12,183 feet (3,713m) before we descend into the ski resort of Estes Park for lunch.

We go North and stop in Cheyenne for the night.

By now you will be part of a larger group, individuals and friends all riding towards a common goal, Sturgis.

On our way we will swing in to see the famous Fort Laramie.

Free Day!!

Today we will swing into the Devils Tower National Park
(made famous by 'Close Encounters of the Third kind')

It is an easy day, we probably need one after Sturgis revelry.

A very short ride today, but on purpose, as Cody is home of the Buffalo Bill Historical Center & the famous Firearms Museum, and you will need to spend some time here, it is HUGE.

That night we usually go to the Rodeo on the outskirts of town, good entertainment and something Cody is famous for.

Now we are in for the BIG WOW FACTOR!

We ride into Yellowstone National Park through the Eastern Gate and you are free to ride the roads in the park, as long as you land at our hotel in West Yellowstone that evening.

You have a chance to visit the Bear & Wolf Habitat before you ride back into Yellowstone, and today you will ride to Old Faithful and through some of the bussiest hot spring areas of the park, in 2010 we saw moose, elk, lots of bison and a black bear plus various smaller wildlife.

As we ride out the Southern Exit we enter the Grand Tetons National Park, and a mountain range that will take your breath away.

We ride South until we arrive at Jackson Hole, the 'Aspen of Wyoming' where the saying goes 'The Millionaires got kicked out by the Billionaires'. You know when Sotheby's have a real estate office in town that you need a lot of zero's on your checques to pay for your home.

We will have our farewell dinner tonight, usually at the "Million Dollar Cowboy" Bar..

OK, last stretch, a nice ride back into Salt Lake City where we return our bikes, get back to the hotel and have a few beers and talk about the tour we just had..

That's it, tours over.. you are free to stay, fly home or carry on on your adventures!!
