Arizona Towns for Motorcyle Bikers
Seligman is not just another stop on what’s left of the old ‘Mother Road’, 
route 66 in Arizona. This stretch of the old highway that includes Seligman was designated as Arizona’s ‘Historic Route 66’ back in 1987. This came about by the efforts of Seligman’s Chamber of Commerce. Like so many other towns left to die in the wake of interstate highway development and decisions by the railroads... MORE !
Prescott, the Yavapai County Seat, was founded in 1864 on Granite Creek, the
source of the placer gold discovered here circa 1838. Named for Mr. William Hickling Prescott, historian and author of ‘Conquest of Mexico’. Talk about history of Arizona did you know that The Palace restaurant and saloon is the oldest bar in Arizona? Whiskey Row has a lot of history that is for sure. Famous for... MORE !
Like Jerome was to copper, the town of Oatman was to gold. More gold
was mined from the Oatman area mnes than in any other area of Arizona. The last activity for mining gold in Oatman was a recent as the 1990’s. However, the mines were closed due to the low price of gold. Hey! Thar is still gold in them thar hills! Over $35 million worth of gold was extracted from the Black... MORE !

weekend. Just about every Saturday or Sunday, weather permitting, main street is alive with bikers and their motorcycles lined up along the street.

The popularity of Tombstone today rests solely on the story of the
most famous ‘old west’ shootout between the Earps, the Clantons, and the McLaureys...the ‘Gunfight at the OK Corral’. At the time, Virgil Earp was the sheriff in town and had mandated that all weapons be surrendered within the city limits. Virgil... MORE !
Bisbee is certainly a must see stop when ridin’ Hwy 80 south from
Tombstone. If not because of the old Copper Queen mine then just for the walk through the main street of town. The facade of the old buildings are well maintained with ‘old world’ appeal. If you are in to antiques or collectibles then Bisbee is just ... MORE !
Once called the ‘Biggest Little Town of Arizona’ Cottonwood and
the surrounding area has a lot to offer bikers visiting the area. It is especially nice on winter rides due to the mild weather during the day. The city of Cottonwood is in the ‘heart’ of the Verde valley. The Verde River runs through the valley from northwest to south east and is joined by flows from Sycamore Canyon... MORE !
There is certainly a lot to do in a town that holds claim to ‘The City of Seven
Natural Wonders’. No doubt being surrounded by the Grand Canyon, Sunset Crater, Walnut Canyon, Oak Creek Canyon, Wupatki National Monument and the San Francisco Peaks gives this old Route 66 and pioneer railroad town the right to this honor. Lowell Observatory on Mars Hill, not far from downtown, made the discovery of the dwarf planet Pluto in 1930, and work done there led to Hubble’s ... MORE !
It’s really difficult to imagine the Lake Havasu area back in the 1950’s or 
for that matter back in the 1920’s. Parker Dam was built in the 30’s and Lake Havasu was just the Colorado River. Maybe there were a few early settlers in the area on the Arizona side but on the California shores there were plenty of Indians. Lake Havasu didn’t exist until the mid 1960’s. Then along came...

‘Zane Grey Country’ some folk call it but most recently the area around
Payson, Arizona is referred to as ‘the Rim Country’. The Payson area was a favorite of the early western fiction writer Zane Grey as he owned a cabin near the Mongollon Rim. Located just south of the Mongollon Rim Payson was once known as Green Valley or Union Park. The town is named in honor of Senator Payson who at the time was chairman of the congressional Post Office and Post Road Committee of the Unitited Sates Congress. The... MORE !
No one can take the beauty of Sedona’s red rock and ponderosa country for
granted even if they live there and see it everyday. Even if one wanted, the eyes could not ignore the greatness of such a masterpiece that includes monoliths like Coffee Pot, Cathedral, and Bell Rock. Nestled in Arizona’s Coconino National Forest it is no wonder that Sedona is a mecca for those who seek the beauty... MORE !
The name ‘Show Low” came about from a card game that was dealt two
early settlers of the area to decide which one would run the early settlement in the area. Corydon E. Cooley, an early scout for the U.S. government and friend to the Chief of the White Mountain Apache Tribe, won the ‘low hand’ and since that time ‘Show Low’ became the name of this Arizona town...

The ‘Olde Pueblo’, as Tucson is still referred to today, is one of the 
oldest towns in the United States. Originally settled by Indians, then Spaniards, and then acquired by the US in 1854 under the Gadsen Purchase with Mexico, Tucson has flown three national flags. In 1797 the Spanish Franciscans built a mission just south of present day Tucson called ‘San Xavier Del Bac’, known as the White Dove of the Desert’. The mission is still ... MORE !
It was all about the gold, about $100 million or probably more. Mined from the Vulture Mine discovered by Henry Wickenburg. The Vulture 
Mine produced more gold than any other mine in Arizona. And, it is for sale today with a price tag of 6.5 million dollars. Some say that the gold that remains is more than that what was already taken. It is certainly worth more today that is for sure. Although Vulture City is no longer inhabited it did boast a population of over ... MORE !
This ‘wide spot’ in the road called Tortilla Flat is rated as one of the top
ride destinations in Arizona due to it’s proximity to the metro area of the capitol of Arizona, Phoenix. The twisty road and beautiful desert fauna is a plus as well. Located in the Superstition Wilderness along the Salt River, this scenic stretch of road is about a 40 mile round trip from Apache Junction. The road is paved all the ... MORE !
