Mid-Winter Adventure
How about a great little mid-winter adventure? This ride is aimed at our friends who live in those cold parts of North America where your motorcycles get put away for the winter and you yearn for sunny weather. Yes I’m talking those of you who live in Atlanta, Boise, Chicago, Detroit, Edmonton, Fargo, etc… you get it. Much of America is pretty cold in the winter. Gloomy too, except for the sunny southwest. So – that being said how does the idea of five days of Adventure Riding fun in the warm and sunny deserts of California and Nevada sound to you?
The desert is an awesome way to get out of the cold of winter for those of you who live in frigid environs. The centerpiece of our Mid-Winter Adventure is Death Valley, CA! From an attraction standpoint Death Valley is America’s second largest National Park, and December through March the temperatures average from 66 to 80ºF respectively and there’s usually less than an inch of rainfall. Sound good so far?
So imagine this… it’s the middle of January, it’s nearly 70ºF and you are riding the brand new BMW GS of your choice and heading out across the Mojave Desert to RawHyde’s Base Camp Alpha and then on to such places as Death Valley’s world famous racetrack or Bad Water… the lowest place in the western hemisphere at 287 feet below sea level. On top of that Dante’s View, Titus Canyon, Scotty’s Castle, and more all beckon you to visit.
Imagine six nights and five days in the incredible Mojave Desert, the rugged Panamint Valley, and amazing Death Valley. This magnificent adventure is fully supported with a knowledgeable guide, a sweep rider, a four-wheel drive support truck to carry the luggage and a professionally trained Chef who will provide sumptuous meals under the stars on camping nights, and otherwise we’ll dine at the local restaurants near our hotel.
