What's this trip about?

    What’s the one thing you wish you had on a group cycling vacation? More free time! That’s why we designed this remarkable Utah adventure with your freedom in mind. Your experienced local trip leaders have the inside knowledge to help you choose your own adventure—whether you’re looking for extra miles or a relaxing afternoon by the pool. You might challenge yourself—spinning past the rosy spines of hoodoos to the panoramic views at Bryce Canyon’s Rainbow Point. Or explore on foot—hiking the lush riverside Emerald Pools Trail or ascending the rocky switchbacks of the West Rim Trail in Zion National Park. You might also choose to browse the art galleries in Springdale, or kick back and indulge in a relaxing spa treatment at your resort hotel. The choice is yours!
