Best Western Colorado River Inn, 2371 W Broadway, Needles CA
Route 66 motel We stayed here on our recent journey along Route 66, the room was clean, the bed was comfy and the staff were very friendly. They have a pool which is great on a summer’s afternoon in Needles and reception has pool towels for customers use. The only reason I give this place …
Route 66 – (2018 Trip) – Day 15 – Williams, AZ. to Las Vegas, NV.
Breakfast in Williams, AZ. offers limited choices when you get up early. Well maybe early for the town at least it was late for us. We foolishly tried a coffee after the coffee shop staff said they knew how to make a flat white. They clearly didn’t know how to do it. Or at least …
Ellis Island Hotel Super 8 Las Vegas, 4250 Koval Lane, Las Vegas, NV
“Vegas baby!” A bit of a hidden gem, it was a renovated off the strip casino with a great food and beer selection, for anyone staying on Las Vegas you should consider this place. Cheaper than staying on the strip and it’s within easy walking distance. You get an empty “growler” when you arrive which …
Route 66 – (2018 Trip) – Cruisers Cafe 66
Route 66 trip I’ve been here 3 times in the last 5 years, great place to sit back and listen to some music over a cold beer. I was also served the most bizarre burger I’ve ever had. It came out deconstructed and I had to put it together to eat. Seriously? That’s just plain …
Route 66 – (2018 Trip) – Day 14 – Bluff, UT. to Williams, AZ.
With our journey to Monument Valley done it was time to turn around and head back towards Route 66. Riding back through Monument Valley with the sun behind us was a truly majestic experience. You can certainly see why it’s one of the most photographed places on the planet. If I was to venture this way again …
Highlander Motel, 533 W Rte 66, Williams, AZ
Route 66 motel This is an old Route 66 motel which is why we chose it. The was comfy, the room was basic and clean. It’s a little expensive for what it offers. There are plenty of places you can walk to for a drink or a meal so you won’t have a problem finding …
Desert Rose Inn & Cabins 701 West Main Street Bluff UT
Overpriced There’s not a lot of choices once you get out this way, they are in the middle of nowhere. That said the cabin was very nice and the bed was comfy. That’s about all the positives though, they don’t have a bar for a quiet drink and your dining is limited to the in-house …

Today we ventured off Route 66 and headed up to Monument Valley in Utah, Our destination was Bluff, UT. A ride of 388 km (241 miles), mostly through barren countryside. Surprisingly it was a mild 16°C in Flagstaff, cool enough on the bike for me to don the thermal shirt as a cover layer. Being summer …
Route 66 – (2018 Trip) – Day 12 – Albuquerque, NM. to Flagstaff, AZ.
Today is a ride day with little of worth to see aside from the Continental Divide and some stunning countryside. Our destination for today was Flagstaff, Arizona. Today is also our longest ride day with 547 km (339 miles) to be covered. We chose to do a longer run due to the lack of things to …
