LODGING NOTE:
We are currently working with each of the six overnight host towns—Gallup, Grants, Albuquerque, Santa Rosa, Las Vegas, and Tucumcari—to explore possible group discounts. We will share accommodation details as soon as they are available. In the meantime, you are welcome to book lodging wherever you prefer.
If your chosen location becomes a sponsor and offers a special rate, your original booking price will be adjusted to the motor tour rate.
We look forward to seeing you soon!
