SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA INLAND EXPLORER

This all-paved Southern California Inland Explorer motorcycle adventure was specially curated to share some of our favourite regional serpentine roads with you over six days of riding.  Carve canyons or cruise at your own pace through countless impeccable curves! Our first two days of riding will have us travelling along twisty roads from one hotel to the next: Long Beach to Borrego Springs, California, through historic Oatman, Arizona, and into Laughlin, Nevada. The next three nights will be spent in Palm Springs, California, allowing us to spend more time enjoying the spectacular out-rides and less time on packing and unpacking. Our final day of riding brings the whole crew through yet another fresh set of curves and back to our Long Beach, California facility.

Road Conditions: This motorcycle tour features excellent paved, curvy roads and open highways. We created the itinerary to feature mountainous roads, deserts, and historic Route 66.

DAY 2 - Long Beach to Borrego Springs, California - 275 Kilometres (171 Miles)

Riders, start your engines! Lean into the infamous curves of Ortega Highway as we make our way inland. Stop in the quaint gold mining town of Julian, which attracts motorcyclists and pie lovers from far and wide. Wind our way downhill into the desert valley of Borrego Springs. Stay in Borrego Springs.

DAY 3 - Borrego Springs, California to Laughlin, Nevada - 505 Kilometres (313 Miles)

Three states in one day! Cruise through Ocotillo Wells, California and past sand dunes as we continue east and then north along two-lane thoroughfares and Lake Havasu, Arizona, current home of the London Bridge. We'll take a side trip to meet free-roaming burros in the old western town of Oatman, Arizona before making our way into Laughlin, Nevada. Stay in Laughlin.

Hope you're ready for a great day of desert riding! We'll ride past the Mojave National Preserve, through Sheephole Valley Wilderness, and then through Joshua Tree National Park, all before arriving in Palm Springs. Unpack and relax, as we're staying in Palm Springs for three nights.

DAY 5 - Palm Springs Out-Ride Day - 380 Kilometres (236 Miles)

Leave your luggage behind and enjoy a jaunt with the group, or relax in town. For those joining us on the road again, our first stop: Pioneer Town, an old western movie backlot that's well preserved and ready for you to say "Howdy!" as you channel your inner Roy Rogers. The ride continues through Johnson Valley, up to Big Bear Lake, and then south through the San Bernardino National Forest before returning to our hotel in Palm Springs.

DAY 6 - Palm Springs Out-Ride Day - 450 Kilometres (279 Miles)

Leave your luggage behind and enjoy another jaunt with the group or relax in town. The roads we're riding today were selected by our team members with intimate knowledge of this area. The curves over Mt. San Jacinto through Idyllwild and down to Hemet will keep you on the edge of your seat! We'll cruise through the agricultural hills around Sage, through scenic wine country, and out toward Fallbrook, and into Old Town Temecula. We will return to our hotel in Palm Springs.

DAY 7 - Palm Springs, California to Long Beach, California - 240 Kilometres (149 Miles)
