Our tour begins in Sacramento where we’ll ease our way into the Sierra Nevada mountains along some of the most scenic stretches of country road, including Hwy. 49 and the “Little Dragon.” How quickly we can go from the big city to open country is one of the things that makes this part of the state such a treat for motorcyclists! We’ll wind our way through the California Gold Country on some of the best motorcycling roads in the area before taking a turn into one of the most visually stunning places in the world: Yosemite National Park.

Day 2 – Yosemite to Bridgeport (146 miles)

We’ll begin our day with a ride into the park. Once inside, we’ll journey through Yosemite Valley, giving you an up-close look at the granite cliffs featured in many an Ansel Adams portrait. We’ll take a break so you can walk around, soak in the unbelievable scenery, and get to know Yosemite! Then it’s up and over Tioga Pass for more unbelievable 360-degree panoramic views. Not using all your film up here will be a big challenge! Once outside the park, our exploration of the unique geology of the area continues with a visit to Mono Lake and its otherworldly tufa towers.

Day 3 – Bridgeport to Sacramento (195 miles)

For the last day of the tour, we’ll begin by re-crossing the Sierra Nevada mountains via Sonora Pass. Sonora Pass is one of the most beautiful in all the Sierra range, and there’s no better way to see it than from the seat of your motorcycle. We’ll stop periodically to take in the scenery and have a snack by a mountain stream. Then it’s back down to the foothills for a fantastic tour of the Gold Country backroads. These roads are among the best kept riding secrets in California and we know all the good ones. You won’t want to leave, but we’ll have you back in Sacramento by about 6pm for a farewell dinner and the end of a great tour.
