Overview

Discover and explore what we ultimately strive for in a cycling vacation–which is to simply “Pedal Happy”. Explore two desert regions for the price of one on this tour through forty thousand acres of raw beauty and red Aztec sandstone. Begin with a spectacular loop through Lake Mead National Recreation Area to Hoover Dam. Explore the Great Basin’s Valley of Fire – Nevada's oldest state park, dotted with petrified trees and 2,000-year-old petroglyphs. Then head to the Mojave Desert’s Death Valley National Park – the country's largest National Park – for four more days of riding and hiking through Southwest wonders. Painted badlands, eerie landscapes and Old West history make for an unforgettable journey!
