Itinerary

Day 1: Meet in St.George. Ride from the Giant Cedar Breaks Amphitheater to Panguitch, then (if you wish) to the hotel near the entrance to Bryce Canyon.

Meet us in St. George, Utah (public shuttle is available from the Las Vegas airport.) Begin riding just north of there, in Dixie National Forest’s Cedar Breaks National Monument — a huge amphitheater of amazing red and orange sandstone sculptures carved by the wind and rain. Pedal down a long, gradual hillside, descending through the aspens and pines of Dixie National Forest to the flat farmland around the town of Panguitch. Cycle past the vivid sandstone formations of Red Canyon on a paved bike path leading to Bryce Canyon National Park, where you’ll spend the next two nights
Meals: Lunch and Dinner. Lodging: Bryce Canyon Grand Hotel or the main lodge at the Ruby Inn
Distance: 56 miles (mostly downhill – the 15 mi. / +1200 ft, Afternoon climb into Bryce is optional. Elevation: +2148 ft / – 4942 ft.

Day 2: Hike the Navajo / Queens Garden loop in the morning and ride from panoramic Rainbow Point in the afternoon.

Go for a hike on the Navajo / Queens Garden loop in the morning. Cone-shaped hoodoos resembling wizards and gnomes guard the path; ravens call down to them from above and beyond every curve lies a jaw-dropping view. In the afternoon, ride from panoramic Rainbow Point back to the hotel – a delightful 17-mile downhill – or tackle a more challenging ride there-and-back.
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner. Lodging: Bryce Canyon Grand Hotel, or the main lodge at the Ruby Inn
Distance: 21 miles, plus some hiking Elevation: +926 ft / – 2,372 ft.

Day 3: Watch the sun rise over Bryce’s hoodoos. Ride into jaw-dropping Zion National Park.

Start off with a sunrise walk at Bryce. Statue-like hoodoos appear to glow from within as the sun’s rays creep down the canyon walls. After breakfast, cruise 13 miles mostly downhill through Red Canyon before we shuttle (~1hr) to Zion National Park’s east side. Pedal past “beehive” formations and iconic Checkerboard Mesa to take a short hike to the canyon overlook. Relax, keep your eyes peeled for desert sheep, and soak up the beauty of this unique section of the park’s geology before we transfer (~2hr) to Springdale on the west side. Spend the next three nights at the  Springhill Suites, or the Red Cliffs Lodge Zion.
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner. Lodging: Springhill Suites or Red Cliffs Lodge Zion
Distance: Red Canyon:12.7 miles Elevation: +306 ft / – 878 ft. Zion Eastside 19 miles +1228 ft -1,225 ft

Day 4: Hike past “Walters Wiggles” to “Scouts Lookout” atop the canyon walls.

Today we head out the West Rim Trail to panoramic vista points above the canyon walls. Wind your way up “Walter’s Wiggles” to Scouts Rest, then continue past more wondrous views to a “checkerboard wall”, a shady wall and eventually, a desert spring. Folks with an extreme fear of heights may prefer a more leisurely stroll to a beautiful waterfall.
Prefer to ride? Choose between scenic and challenging cycling options inside Zion National Park and on its border (no van support). Since the Park Service runs frequent free shuttle buses from our inn, through town, to the visitor center, and through Zion’s valley floor, you can customize your experience.
Meals: Breakfast. Lodging: Springhill Suites or Red Cliffs Lodge Zion.
Distance hike: 3.6 miles Elevation: +1115 ft / – 1115 ft.

Day 5: Hike into the Narrows – a stunningly scenic slot canyon hailed as the ‘best hike in all the National Park System’.

Conditions permitting, we offer a river walk into the Virgin River’s Narrows – a stunningly gorgeous slot canyon with walls towering more than 1,000 feet high. The river covers the narrow canyon’s base wall-to-wall in places, so you’ll be wading in and out of ankle-to-waist-deep water as you navigate a rock-walled passageway. We supply walking sticks and waders.
Meals: Breakfast, lunch and dinner. Lodging: Springhill Suites or Red Cliffs Lodge Zion.
Distance: 5.1 mile maximum round-trip. This is a wet-hike over uneven terrain with little or no elevation gain.

Day 6: One last ride to remember – through fabulous Zion Canyon – before we head back to St. George.

Ride the virtually traffic-free Scenic Drive through Zion Canyon – no cars are allowed here! The cruise up and back to the end of the road along the valley floor can take much longer than the mileage may indicate as you stop to take photos, gaze up at the massive, multicolored cliffs, and contemplate the sparkling river. The tour ends after lunch back in Springdale with a one-hour shuttle back to St. George.
Meals: Breakfast and Lunch. 19 mi +1283 ft – 1280 ft

Information

Meals and dining:
We know how important breakfast is to make sure your day starts off right. Most breakfasts are served at the inn where we spend the night and are either a set menu or a continental breakfast buffet. But if there is a local restaurant with a reputation for a great breakfast, we can guarantee we will find it and you will be treated to a nutritious meal to start the day.
Lunch is provided at a state park or similar scenic setting midway during the day’s ride. Guests are always surprised at the variety and quality of lunches we prepare. Besides sandwich fixings and cold drinks, we offer fresh fruits and vegetables and hot lunches such as tortellini with pesto or veggie burritos. If you prefer a certain item of food or drink, just let your tour guide know and we will be sure to prepare just the right lunch to keep your energy up for the rest of the day.
During the day water, fruit juices, soft drinks, energy bars, fruit, and snacks are available from the van. A cold beer from our cooler waits at the end of the day, and you can relive the day’s highlights at our wine and cheese party before dinner.
Dinner is eaten together at the best restaurant in the area. At most restaurants, you order what you want from the menu. Except for alcohol, everything is included, even appetizers, salad, soup, and dessert. If we have to shuttle everyone a short distance to get to that special place, we do it. We like to eat well.

If you have any special dietary requests, please let us know in advance. We regularly accommodate vegetarians and other restricted diets. All of our meals are carefully selected to provide you with the unusually high nutritional and caloric needs of your body on an outdoor adventure.
