Activity Level: Level 3
Terrain: Hilly
The terrain is varied, from sustained climbing in often windy conditions, to more level riding in cool canyons. The scenery and splendid views make the climbs and the windy conditions worthwhile, but our Utah bike tour is best suited to strong riders. The first three days of the trip are spent between about 6,700 and 9,000 feet elevation, which can make the riding more challenging if you spend most of your time at or near sea level. There are also sections of road that, while offering amazing views, can seem exposed to riders with a fear of heights. Our Bryce Canyon and Zion bike tour is best suited for our Level 3 Riders. Our Trek Travel guides can also easily accommodate Level 2 Riders, who seek less mileage or fewer uphills, with a boost in the van. For those eager to experience every mile but mindful of their physical limits, our electric bike option offers a comfortable and enjoyable solution. Level 4 Riders will enjoy the extra mileage the avid route options offer.
