As a pioneering outfitter in Bryce and Zion, (50-miles northeast), we’ve developed a wealth of extraordinarily rich adventure here. Not only is the road biking phenomenal and diverse, so is the terrain. In a sense, a geologic extension or addendum to The Grand Canyon 75-miles to the south, the landforms here lend themselves to a multitude of adventure, if not inspiring place-names: from The Court of The Patriarchs, The Beehives, Mountain of The Sun to The Great White Throne. In addition to our favorite road bike rides, on this trip we range further into southern Utah’s brilliant colors and shapes: hiking, climbing, and canyoneering among the region’s prevalent cliffs, crags, plateaus, and pinnacles. From cycling the moderately challenging separated bike paths of Red Canyon and Bryce Canyon, we take Vibram soles and approach shoes to Bryce Canyon’s more remote draws: Sunset Point, Brian Head’s Cascade Falls, and Zion’s Narrows. Our canyoneering day takes us boulder and rappelling deep canyons and chutes. Our final activity transits to the Red Cliffs of St. George, the monumental formations of Navajo sandstone. There we chalk it up to a thrilling day of rock climbing.
“I can’t say enough about these two. They were fun to be with and at the same time very professional and aware of their responsibilities. Great work ethic. I would be thrilled to tour with them again.” Darren C, Bryce and Zion National Parks
