Cycling Escapes

This is a fun and challenging island cycling vacation that hops between islands filled with sweeping vistas and some epic climbs. During the week we will ride the classic three islands of the San Juans - Orcas, Lopez and San Juan Islands plus the neighboring islands Fidalgo and Whidbey.

On this cycling vacation we'll tour the park by bike, exploring it's scenic roads, rock formations, sand dunes, ghost towns and even castles.

The Historic Inn at Death Valley will be our base camp for the week. We stay 4 nights in the newly built Casitas situated around the famed gardens and pool in a natural oasis.

From here we explore all the park has to offer by bicycle, alternating climbing days with flatter routes down the valley. Choose your ride each day, either a short or long route. In five days you'll ride most of the park. We'll also hike a few spectacular trails that must be seen when visiting the area.

This California bicycle tour is the perfect winter and spring get away. Because Death Valley is located below sea level, the winter temperatures are mild, and as a bonus, the roads are practically empty of cars!

After basking in the rays of Big Sur sunshine we'll head down the coast through San Luis Obispo and Pismo Beach. Eventually we will wind our way into the Solvang Wine Country, where we'll loop the beautiful Santa Ynez Valley and it's wineries.

Along the way we'll cycle past lighthouses, sea lions, Hearst Castle, and the best views on the California coast. Prepare to ride the famous beaches of Big Sur, Moonstone Bay, and Pismo. If you've never seen this section of the Pacific coastline, then treat yourself to a Bicycle Tour you will not forget!

Starting in Zion National Park in southern Utah, on this spring and fall cycling vacation we'll bike from Zion National Park to the red rock hoodoos of Bryce National Park, then onward to Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument, Capitol Reef National Park, Lake Powell and the little known Burr Trail.

On this 6 day bicycle tour, we ride along the edge of beautiful Lake Mead to the Valley of Fire, a towering vista of mountains and red rock. We'll also spend a day kayaking down the Colorado exploring canyons and hot springs, an adventure not to be missed.
