Road Biking Tours: Which is your pick to Tame the Mountains this Summer?
Lake Tahoe High Sierras Road Bike Tour
Adventures in the mountains don’t only happen on a Mountain Bike! This summer, you can tame outrageous peaks on a Road Bike in the High Sierras, or in the Rocky Mountains. Which is your pick?
The Road Bike Tour of Lake Tahoe and the High Sierras
California’s High Sierra is a powerhouse of a mountain range: not only is it the longest mountain range in the lower 48 states, it is also home to the highest number of peaks.
Inhale fresh high country air from a road bike or one of our ebikes, and steadily climb some of the loftiest, if lightly traveled passes in the Sierra Nevada. Give a big hug to some of the oldest and grandest trees on Earth, the giant Sequoia: the biggest and best of the last.
This 5 day tour also gives you stays at some gorgeous inns along the way. In the daylight between those restful stays, this High Sierra adventure is a welcome challenge to even the seasoned road bikers. Comfort plus adventure? This tour hits the sweet spot!

The Road Bike Tour of the Colorado Rocky Mountains
Colorado Rocky Mountains Road Bike Tour
Alternatively, Escape Adventures offers a luxury road bike tour of the Rocky Mountains.
From the rusty brown of the semi-arid lowlands, to the alpine wildflower meadows, our Colorado road bike tour provides you with a great opportunity to find out what “colorful Colorado” is all about.
Our trip leaders live for this: sharing some of the area’s unbelievably scenic routes, the unique terrain features. Big open runs through high meadows that roll like waves, exploding in shoulder-high wildflowers.
From Durango to Mesa Verde National Park, we get the opportunity to walk among well-preserved Ancestral Puebloan cliff dwellings. Our adventure climbs over four challenging passes (each over 10,000 feet) into the beautiful mountain towns of Telluride, Ouray and Silverton. Abundant wildflowers and rich history, the Colorado Rocky Mountain Road Bike Tour offers incalculable “wow” moments that you won’t quickly forget!
And there you have it! Which one is your pick for the summer? If the climbs have made you hesitate on joining either of these tours in the past, we recommend using an ebike. This doubles your power throughout the tour and never compromises on the scenery.
