While riding from national park to national park, one can see almost all of the natural wonders to be found in this area. Antelope Cave is just one of the big ones. There are others along the route, each and every day. This tour is also very relaxing without getting boring at any time. Endless curves and great scenery let a motorcyclist s heart beat higher. Also, we spent some time in the shimmering metropolis of Las Vegas and Los Angeles and enjoyed some great time shopping around. I think I will do this tour again to be able to soak in even more of the fantastic highlights and moments we were allowed to experience on this tour. Gabriele Von Waldburg, Switzerland About America Though we have travelled parts of Southern California on other trips, we chose this part of the world again. Las Vegas is truly a fascinating metropolis and the buzzing atmosphere is something everyone should experience at least once. Leaving Las Vegas, we dove into the endless vastness of the country and its beautiful valleys. Our route led us through the California mountains and on to the Pacific Coast, where San Diego awaited us. We especially enjoyed the curvy backroads at the end of our tour. The trip made us want to do it all over again. Gabriela Rohringer & Günter Breibert, Austria
