You'll cross the Hualapai Indian Reservation and catch your first glimpse of the western rim of the Grand Canyon.

After leaving the town of Kayenta behind you, you will reach Monument Valley. Monument Valley is one of the few parks not under the administration of the US government. As it is located in the middle of a reservation, the Navajo Indians have the lucrative say here. There you have the opportunity to take another exclusive tour of the valley with the Navajos in their four-wheel drive vehicles. In the late afternoon you will reach Mexican Hat, which is located directly on the San Juan River. As you drive past, you will see the rock formation from which this place gets its name.

That's the motto on the Million Dollar Road, and you'll understand why during your stop. You'll reach the small town of Bryce just in time for lunch. In the afternoon, the tour continues to Bryce Canyon National Park. This is known for its unique red sandstone formations, which glow in golden and red colors, like fire, especially at sunrise and sunset.

Day 12 – Death Valley National Park 480 – 540 km
Today you'll travel to another highlight of your tour – Death Valley. After this day's journey, you'll probably have a good idea where the name "Valley of Death" comes from. Sand as far as the eye can see, no water, and sometimes extreme temperatures are just a few examples. You'll follow the valley, which is already back in California, and, depending on the route and the opening of the passes in the Sierra Nevada Mountains*, you'll reach your overnight accommodation in the Mammoth Lake or Ridgecrest* area in the early evening. INFO: In extremely high temperatures, we reserve the right, based on the specifications of the motorcycle rental company, to reroute along a side valley of Death Valley.

You'll spend your lunch break at the original 50's Diner before reaching the impressive city of San Francisco on the Pacific coast in the afternoon. You'll spend the next two nights in San Francisco near Fisherman's Wharf. You can easily explore the wharf on foot from your hotel this evening.
