American Honda Rider Education Center, Colton

Created and run by Honda, one of the largest motorcycle manufacturers in the world, the Rider Education Center imparts riders of all ages with the skills and education needed to wrangle the handlebars of ATVs, dirt bikes, and motorcycles. MSF-certified instructors guide students through a hands-on curriculum that bestows riding fundamentals, safety techniques, and certifications. At the Colton ranch, the first Rider Education Center ever built, the sound of revving engines dissipates into the adjoining Environmental Learning Center, where 2 acres of traversable trails showcase five ecosystems—from woodlands to desert terrain to ramps made of clouds—featuring more than 2,500 plant species.
