Trail of Lewis and Clark Motorcycle Tour

This is not just a motorcycle ride, but a historical odyssey through the western United States. Our Trail of Lewis and Clark motorcycle tour takes you to visit the actual sites of the Lewis and Clark expedition, learn in depth about the route and challenges of the Corps of Discovery and become more familiar with the tale of the opening of the west. We chose the most scenic back roads to arrive at our destinations and stand where these great explorers actually stood. This is an education that makes one reflect on the cultures of the west – before, during and after the expedition.

Road Conditions: This guided motorcycle tour features all paved highways and some dirt road options.
