Trip OverviewIntroduced for the 2009 season the Old Faithful tour features Yellowstone National Park. Arguably the most famous of the U.S. National Parks, Yellowstone is located in the heart of America's mid-west and is best known for its signature attraction, a geyser named "Old Faithful". Experience the pure, raw natural beauty touring the sites of this National treasure. This holiday also includes portions of British Columbia's Okanagan and Kootenay Valley region. Join us as we journey from the snow-capped Coastal Mountain range, through Washington's lake & wine region, into cowboy and cattle country all en route to Yellowstone National Park and "Old Faithful".
Highlights include: Yellowstone & Grand Teton National Parks, Jackson Hole, Hell's Canyon, Beartooth Pass and Craters of the Moon National Reserve!
This is a brand new tour for 2009 and is geared towards those who are keen to ride longer stretches. It covers more ground than any of our other tours. We average over 400km per day with fewer rest days. This is due to the fact that there are so many amazing things to see and do in this portion of the world. So you can’t say that we didn’t caution you!
Our journey begins in Vancouver where we head east on the Trans-Canada Highway through the heart of the Fraser Valley, Abbotsford. From Abbotsford we head south at the Sumas border crossing into the old U.S. of A. and Washington State. We’ll wind our way down through farm lands, where we’ll connect with Highway 20 which will take us eastward through the Cascade Mountains. We’ll spend our first night just outside the town of Winthrop.
The next day we’re back on to Highway 20 East. As we ride out of the Cascade Mountains you’ll notice a drastic change from windy mountain roads to flat open stretches of land. This is Washington’s Spokane Valley. We’ll wind our way down through the town of Spokane, where we spend the night.
From here we head through the southeast corner of Washington state for a short stretch until we reach Oregon’s north east corner en route to Enterprise, the gateway town to Hell’s Canyon National Park, which we’ll spend some time cruising through and exploring before heading to our hotel in Enterprise.
We’ll get to see more of Hell’s Canyon National Park as we wind our way south through Idaho’s high plains. We’ll pass by the renowned resort town of Sun Valley, Idaho on our way to our final destination for the evening, Stanley, Idaho.
Our next day consists of a casual pace ride to Idaho Falls as we explore Saw Tooth National Forest and Craters of the Moon National Monument.
Get your cowboy gear ready because we’re going through Jackson Hole, Wyoming. We hope to have ample time to spend familiarizing ourselves with the area, including Grand Tetons National Park. Back on the bikes heading north again through Grand Tetons National Park and on to our first glimpse of Yellowstone National Park.
Next stop Yellowstone, where we spend 2 nights. Just enough time to enjoy all that Yellowstone National Park has to offer. Now that you’ve earned that day off, back to some good old hard motorcycle riding. We’ll head north east through the Rocky Mountain foothills and over the famous Beartooth Pass. Put your warm weather gear on because we’ll be climbing up to almost 11,000 feet en route to the State they call ‘The Big Sky State’ Montana. From there we’ll be spending the night in Helena, Montana.
From Helena we travel up to Bigfork, one of Montana’s most charming small towns with plenty of colourful locals. Flathead Lake is also another big attraction. We’ll call it an evening in one of Montana’s biggest little resort towns, Whitefish where we’ll spend the next 2 nights. A day off in Whitefish provides an excellent opportunity to experience Glacier National Park’s world renowned Logan’s Pass!
From Whitefish we head north to Eureka and just when you think we’re crossing the border back into Canada, we take you down south for one last great sweeping section of Montana’s open roads. We travel down to Libby Dam heading north east into Idaho and then crossing the border up into Canada breaching the town of Creston, B.C.
After lunch we head north on Highway 3A onto the great twisty roads of the south Kootenay Valley and onto the funky little resort town of Nelson, B.C. The next morning we stay on Highway 3 winding our way into the Okanagan valley, as we encounter Canada’s only desert for our second to last stop in Osoyoos.
Our final day takes us back to Vancouver where our adventure began! Following highway 3 west through Princeton, Manning Park and Hope where we connect with the Trans Canada Highway. The last leg of our journey winds it’s way down through the Fraser Valley and into Vancouver where we’ll enjoy a relaxing final dinner at one of our newest hotels just on the outskirts of the big city.

Consider the Best of the West.
Just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed the motorcycle tour through beautiful BC (and part of Alberta too).
Unlike most trips, yours is one that I would do again. You and Ryan were fun, friendly, considerate and very professional hosts.
And I did mean it when I said that yours was the most intelligently planned and executed tour that I’ve been on.”
