the SouthWest
Tour
A fantastic week awaits us, as we leave the
big city behind and ride toward Prescott National
Forest. Mountain switchbacks, old mining towns,
Indian cliff dwellings and reservations, ghost
towns, Oak Creek Canyon, Salt River Canyon,
the Coronado Trail - this tour has all the
rugged excitement you could hope for.
There's Tombstone, "The Town Too Tough
to Die", and Chiricahua National Monument,
the site of Cochise's hiding place. You'll
ride around the largest open pit mine in the
world, and through Saguaro National Park.
Visit old Tucson before returning to Phoenix
and the end of this incredible one-week ride
through the magnificent American Southwest.
