A Private Moto219-Curated Journey

California Sierra Legends is a private five-day journey planned and curated by Moto219 for an established group of riders. The route brings together scenic roads, landmark destinations, motorcycle rentals, flights, lodging and daily logistics in one carefully coordinated ride from Los Angeles to Las Vegas.

From Sequoia’s towering giants to Yosemite’s granite walls, across Mono Lake, Mammoth Mountain and beneath Mount Whitney ... this is a ride through the landscapes that define the American West.

Five destinations

Sequoia · Yosemite · Mono Lake · Mammoth · Mount Whitney

Legendary roads

Generals Highway · Tioga Pass · Highway 395 · June Lake Loop · Whitney Portal Road

The experience

Ancient trees, glacier-carved valleys, alpine passes and golden September light.

Whether the goal is adventure, photography, solitude or simply the joy of riding, this planned route brings together the very best of the Sierra Nevada on two wheels.

Invitation-only travel

Joining the group by invitation?

A known rider joining from outside the Orlando group may arrange independent travel but must meet the group at EagleRider Los Angeles for the scheduled 9:00 a.m. motorcycle pickup on Thursday, September 10, 2026.

The rider must arrange transportation to EagleRider Los Angeles and confirm a one-way motorcycle rental from EagleRider Los Angeles to EagleRider Las Vegas in advance. Arriving in Los Angeles the previous evening is strongly recommended because the group will leave the area shortly after collecting the motorcycles. The itinerary cannot be delayed for a late flight, baggage problem or missed connection.

The motorcycle must be returned to EagleRider Las Vegas by 5:00 p.m. on Monday, September 14. The joining rider may arrange independent travel home from Las Vegas.
