Tips For The Best Motorcycle Rides In Arizona


If there is one thing you don't want to be on Arizona motorcycle rides, it is lost in the desert. The REVER App will help you avoid any mirages and keep you on course. REVER is free to download, and you can get started right away. Track your own rides, open our hand-picked routes and try out unique challenges. But if you want to explore the desert country to its fullest, you're going to need REVER Pro. The turn by turn and voice navigation features will keep you on track, and you'll be able to access offline maps if you lose service in the wilderness. All this and more is available for just a few bucks a month. You can head out prepared no matter the destination with REVER.


The intense sunshine and heat is no joke in Arizona, and you need to prepare for the climate before you hit AZ motorcycle rides. It is wise to pack critical hot weather gear like hydration systems, cooling vests and mesh motorcycle gear. You won't regret it when the Arizona heat cranks up to triple digits. Don't forget motorcycle headwear and motorcycle shades to keep the sweat and sun out of your eyes. While sweltering temps are common June through September, the winter months and early spring is an excellent time to visit Arizona. The nights can even get downright cold during this time, so if you're planning on camping out, make sure to pack warm camping gear to keep from shivering. 


Arizona Attractions


Natural wonder is at the top of the list of attractions to pair with the best motorcycle roads in Arizona. Start by visiting unbelievable locations like The Petrified Forest, Monument Valley and The Grand Canyon. Don't forget the extraordinary Antelope Canyon that features carved sandstone slot canyons that are unlike anything else on earth. Arizona is packed with history as well, perhaps none bigger than that of Tombstone, AZ. You can still visit the O.K. Corral to see reenactments of the famous shootout that involved Wyatt Earp and Doc Holliday. In early April, Scottsdale hosts the biggest rally in the state known as Arizona Bike Week. This four day rally features food, live music and plenty of machines at two big locations known as the PowerYard and the RockYard. 


No visit to Arizona is complete without seeing the Grand Canyon.
The colorful rock layers of The Painted Desert are like nowhere else in the Southwest.
West Mitten Butte in Monument Valley is named so because it looks like a glove.
