Overview

Discover and explore what we ultimately strive for in a cycling vacation–which is to simply “Pedal Happy”. The sun shines 354 days a year here! Joshua Tree National Park’s kingdom of golden rock outcroppings and eponymous tree-like succulents combine to form a backdrop unlike anywhere else on our planet. Marvel at desert sculptures, spring wildflowers, and “forests” of creosote bush and ocotillo near Borrego Springs. Hike to a palm oasis and through a slot canyon. Pedal through historic and trendy Palm Springs. Take a refreshing dip in one of the pools or relax under a palm tree with a good book!
