Hi,

I´m from Germany and i will stay in march in Las Vegas. I will rent a bike from eagle riders for 7 days and therefore I need infos about interesting day trips around L.V.
What do you think it´s worth to see? and what should we drop? I want to see the monument valley. But I think it is too far away. Which iss the best place to see the grand canyon? The north rin, south rim ...

Thanx for your help

Best regards
gio

 

Here is a few


Death Valley

The Hoover dam

Grand Canyon

Brice Canyon

Zion National Park

Meteor Crator

Petrified Forest

Painted Desert

 

Thanks, IronheadDave, very nice pictures ...

But I thinks that some destinations are too far away from Las Vegas, if you want to come back in the evening ...

I think, I will do the following trips.

1) Death Valley,
2) Red Rock Canyon
3) Zion N.P. (about 300 miles),
4) Grand Canyon, north rim,
5) What's about Area 51 ???? What can you see there??? Ufos?
6) going south via Hoover Damm to bullhead

 

Check out the Valley of Fire about 30 miles north of Las Vegas. You can ride through it, check out some back roads, come along Lake Mead, and meander your way back to Hoover Dam and in to Las Vegas.





Zion National Park is about a 4-5 hour ride away. You can take I-15 up past St. George, Utah to get to the exit, and then you have some back roads to get into the park. Honestly, the drive up there didn't seem spectacular to me. When I visited (as with every time I visit Utah), the sky opened up and snowed all over the place.

 

Last time I went through Utah it was 120 around Moab and no snow.


You might consider overnighting somewhere else just for grins if it's too far. It sounds like your going to have a great time. Wish I could go.

 

... and after that 7 days relaxing on Maui/Hawaii

 

If you're single you can always go to Pahrump......

 

@juspasnthru: Thanks, but I have to reject your suggestion. But I'll be glad for more recommendations, about interresting points, restaurants and bars ... in and around Las Vegas

 

I'm pretty sure the North Rim of the Grand Canyon is closed until may, due to snow.
South Rim is open and closer too.
At ride to Kingman, through Oatman southeast of Vegas would be a good ride too.

 

Hi, thanks for your help. I made most of your suggestions. Death Valley, Red Rock Canyon, Valley of Fire, Hoover Dam/Lake Mead and Grand Canyon. Altogether 1350 miles in 5 1/2 days.

It was a fantastic ride ...
