Oatman, AZ
The trip to Oatman, AZ is a great day ride all year. Its old west flavor is not to be missed. Plenty of places to see and things to do, and the ride is not to be missed either. The route I laid out is not the fastest. Its the prettiest and most fun. Isn't that why we ride? Be aware that the borros ALWAYS have the right-of-way!

Route 66 North, AZ
Route 66 No.
This is another ride I have yet to take. I have heard that the Route 66 ride it is very pretty and not to be missed. It can also be included if you are going to the South rim of the Grand Canyon ride (see below) or the ride to Sedona. As I have said before some times the side trips off the main trail are the most fun.
