Such a big country, where do I start? If you haven't already made up your mind about a particular area or tour you want to explore on two wheels, it can get a little overwhelming to pick the right one. We're here to assist you in narrowing down your choices. Remember, you won't be able to do it all in one go, so this could become an ongoing thing - and that's not such a bad outlook for the coming years, is it?

When picking out your perfect motorcycle tour across the U.S., think of yourself as a bit of an explorer, customizing an epic adventure just for you. Here's your roadmap to choosing a tour that's as thrilling as a twisty mountain road:

1. Scenery and Environment: Are you after breathtaking views that'll make your heart skip a beat, like those mountain vistas or coastal highways? Or are you more of a city slicker, aiming to roll through vibrant urban landscapes?

2. Length of the Tour: How long do you want to feel the wind in your face? Whether it's a quick weekend jaunt or a cross-country epic, match the tour duration to your endurance and appetite for adventure.

3. Skill Level: Be honest with yourself - are you a seasoned rider who can handle hairpin turns with ease, or are you still getting comfortable in the saddle? Are you suffering from vertigo? Do you fear riding over bridges? Choose a route that matches your skills, without overdoing it, and think about what you're comfortable with.

4. Type of Roads: What's your flavor? Smooth highways, hidden backroads, or the untamed paths less traveled? Each choice sets the stage for a different type of drama on two wheels.

5. Weather and Season: Time your tour right. Chasing the sun? Avoiding the rain? Some routes are seasonal superstars, so plan with Mother Nature in mind.

6. Cultural and Historical Interests: Inject some culture into your cruise. Are you a history buff, a music enthusiast, or a foodie? Pick a tour that spices up the ride with stops that pique your interest.

7. Budget: Money matters. From shoestring trips to luxury tours, there's a price tag for every pocket. Decide how much you're willing to invest in your road-going memories.

Do some digging, maybe chat up a few fellow road warriors for insider tips, and choose a tour that lights up all your cylinders. Remember, the best tour is the one that makes your stories worth telling!

Western Highlights

As the name of the tour reveals - this adventure presents you the highlights of the Western United States. Riding in style, your Harley-Davidson will take you through the four states of California, Arizona, Nevada, and Utah. 

Being the most diverse of all, this tour offers vibrant cities like Los Angeles and Las Vegas, the solitude of the Mojave Desert, the unforgettable impression of a sunset at the Grand Canyon, a hike into Bryce Canyon, the mystic appearance of the iconic Monument Valley and many more attractions.

Discover things from a different angle as you maneuver your bike through sweeping curves and hairpin turns at Zion National Park before you hit the gaming oasis of Las Vegas. After you leave the hustle and bustle of Glamour Town behind, it's back to open road and the heat of Death Valley. 

Cool off while climbing up the 10.000 feet Tioga Pass in Yosemite National Park on your way to San Francisco, probably the most European City in the U.S. Have you ever cruised across the Golden Gate Bridge on a Harley? It'll be one of your most crucial experiences along this trip before you soar south on Highway 1 through Big Sur and conclude this great journey back in Los Angeles. 

Countless miles on scenic side roads, hours of riding without any traffic, and all the major famous sights of the West are incorporated into this fabulous tour which is why it's one of the best USA motorcycle tours.

Highway 1

Riding along the coast has always had an appeal to motorcyclists, maybe it's the additional sense of freedom when you're looking at the vastness of the ocean while you're riding your bike. 

In this particular case, you're covering the entire West Coast of the United States, from Seattle, Washington, through the state of Oregon, all the way down to San Diego, California. 

And so you start your 1800-mile journey in Washington and make your way south along the strikingly beautiful coast; from the Canadian border down to the border of Mexico.

You'll pass through the state of Oregon, enter California and ride the Avenue of the Giants. In Bodega Bay we're looking for winged attackers at the old Potter School House; Alfred Hitchcock couldn't have found a more suitable place for his 1963 movie "The Birds". A little further south San Francisco and Golden Gate Bridge are waiting. 

Then another tidbit lures around the corner - the epic ride down Highway 1 along the breathtaking coastline of Big Sur which leads to the Central Coast and into Southern California. Los Angeles is your last stop before you take yourself on a quest for the wave: Southern California's beach towns are waiting and it's time to show off your surfing skills in Surf City USA, Huntington Beach. 

Not too far down the road, you'll reach San Diego, the southernmost destination of your U.S. West Coast tour before you conclude your journey back in Los Angeles.

Blue Ridge Parkway

When a scenic road comes with over 900 managed vista points you know you're up for a treat. The Blue Ridge Parkway meanders for 469 miles along the crests of the Southern Appalachian Mountains, linking Shenandoah National Park in Virginia with Great Smoky Mountains National Park in North Carolina. 

What you'll get to experience isn't just a scenic drive, it's a perfectly manicured masterpiece of parkway that offers vistas of unmatched beauty combined with slow-paced, relaxed riding. It describes the centerpiece of this tour but it wouldn't be a rides4you tour if there wasn't much more to it.

There's "The Big Easy", New Orleans, with its multi-faceted vibrant French Quarter, Garden District, and old haunted cemeteries.

Natchez, located at the mighty Mississippi River, builds the entrance to the historic Natchez Trace Parkway which leads us to the World's music capitol Nashville. Then the ride continues along the Cherohala Skyway which is another tidbit for every motorcyclist.

Of course, you won't miss out on riding 318 curves within 11 miles on the Tail of the Dragon at Deals Gap, a must for everyone who visits the Smoky Mountains.

This fantastic journey ends in Washington D.C. Why don't you add on a day or two and conclude your vacation with a visit and tour of the White House and the monuments? Another fantastic ride checked off the list of best USA motorcycle tours.

Rocky Mountains

This ride offers riders a complete and in-depth experience of the Rocky Mountains. On this tour, you will stay at carefully selected hotels for several nights called "the base". From here you will go on 3 or 4 separate day trips in north, east, south, and west direction, each typically between 160 and 300 miles. No roundtrip will get you the amount of coverage that this tour is offering.

This way of touring provides a very detailed insight into the different Rocky Mountain regions for the traveler.

Yellowstone

Marvel at a volcano’s hidden power rising up in colorful hot springs, mud pots, and geysers. Explore mountains, forests, and lakes to watch wildlife and witness the drama of the natural world unfold. 

Yellowstone - established as the world's first national park in 1872 - is a nearly 3,500-sq.-mile wilderness recreation area atop a volcanic hot spot. Mostly in Wyoming, the park spreads into parts of Montana and Idaho too. Yellowstone features dramatic canyons, alpine rivers, lush forests, hot springs, and gushing geysers, including its most famous, Old Faithful. It's also home to hundreds of animal species, including bears, wolves, bison, elk, and antelope.

But there's more to this tour than Yellowstone. You'll reach the park riding through Grand Teton NP which encompasses the Teton mountain range and the 4000 meter high Grand Teton peak as well as Jackson Hole Valley. On your way north you reach Glacier NP, a vast wilderness area in Montana's Rocky Mountains, with glacier-carved peaks and valleys running to the Canadian border. It's crossed by the mountainous Going-to-the-Sun Road, a masterpiece of mountain road engineering.

On the second half of the tour, you'll get to enjoy the infamous Beartooth Hwy and a stay in Cody, once hometown of Buffalo Bill. Shoot-outs, rodeos, and ghost towns...

A few more mountain passes lead you west through Yellowstone NP once more before the journey reaches its end in Salt Lake City via Idaho's scenic byways.
