The Trip
The Desert
Odyssey
Five days on late-model Husqvarna motorcycles and Can-Am UTVs, riding through the most iconic terrain in the American West. From the Arizona Strip to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon, through the hoodoos of Bryce Canyon, and finishing in the towering sandstone walls of Zion National Park. Curated by Wilderness Collective. Every detail handled. All you bring is your sense of adventure.
The Pivot
Why the Shift?
The original plan was Portugal Moto — a 7-day international ride with 2 travel days on each end. Great trip, but we hit a wall: not enough riders could commit to the schedule, and the Portugal route was motorcycles only — no UTV option for those without a license.
Wilderness Collective offered to let us migrate the trip to a custom 5-day route through the American Southwest. The result? A tighter schedule, world-class terrain, and the ability to run up to 8 motorcycles or 8 high-performance UTVs — capped at 10 riders total, so everyone can ride regardless of license status.
Portugal Moto (Original)
- —7 days riding + 2 travel days each way
- —Motorcycles only — no UTV option
- —International logistics & jet lag
- —Couldn't fill the roster
Apres Canyons (The Move)
- —Fly in Tues night, ride Wed–Sun, fly out at leisure
- —Up to 8 bikes or 8 UTVs — 10 riders max
- —Direct flight to Vegas — no jet lag
- —3 iconic National Parks in one trip
What about Portugal?
We're not canceling — we're postponing. Portugal (or possibly Morocco) moves to 2027 as a bigger, better international trip. This way we get the best of both worlds. Plus — this way Ray Hix can come. 😎
No motorcycle license? No problem.
Up to 8 Can-Am UTVs available for those who prefer four wheels.

Why Late September
We didn't pick these dates by accident. Late September is the sweet spot — summer heat has broken, trails are bone dry, and you get 10+ hours of golden sunshine. This is the perfect weather window for the American Southwest.
