Want to Come Along?

Leaving the mountain town of Payson, AZ, we ride 200-400 miles per day. We will overnight at various destinations in and  around Arizona. Accommodations can range from cookfires and tent camping, to upscale hotels and eateries, depending on client preference.

Example Tour

250 miles to Tombstone AZ for a throwback to the wild west for a night. Next day is on to the southwest of AZ for a tour through the Yuma Territorial Prison, and a night out and overnight in downtown Yuma. Day 3 might be up and along the Colorado River through the historic mining town of Oatman AZ. Ending the day with an overnight at one of the casino resorts on the river in Laughlin NV. Day 4 might bring us the 300 miles back to Payson AZ through the historic western town of Prescott AZ, home of the world famous whiskey row.

This tour would involve three day rides out from our home base in Payson AZ. 200-300 miles a day and back by dark each night.

Example Tour

Day one might include a loop ride to Show Low AZ, and then on down through Salt River Canyon to Globe AZ. Lunch, and maybe a stop at a couple of roadside attractions. On the loop back to Payson, epic long sweeping turns and huge views of Roosevelt Lake abound. Swing through Jake's Corner AZ to pin a dollar on the ceiling and have a cold drink to knock the road dust off. A quick hop back to Payson for a meal, and a couple of hours to wind down before bed. 

Day two might be a 200 mile rip through Sedona and the fantastic twists and turns along Oak Creek Canyon on the back way to Flagstaff or Williams, AZ. A meal, and then meander back toward Payson via Mormon Lake and Clint’s Well. A stop in Strawberry or Pine, AZ for dinner and refreshments before returning to home base for the evening. Day 3 might involve a 300 mile loop through Historic Prescott, AZ down route 89’s hundreds of sweeping turns to the town of Wickenburg. A cold drink and a snack and off to Cave Creek, AZ for another taste of the west. Then on by the fountain that Fountain Hills, AZ is named for, and up the hill to Payson from there as the sun sets over the peaks to the west.

 A non guided tour set up by me for a client to experience the less traveled roads of AZ at their own pace. Clients would provide locations that they’d like to see, and we would write an itinerary as to the best, most scenic roads and points of interest along the way. Different meal and drink stops would be suggested along with overnight accommodation recommendations. Think of this as a way to have a local “buddy” say, “You gotta stop and check this out, but you can certainly cruise right on past that tourist trap…”
