1. Glacier

Glacier National Park isn’t just another protected wildlife site in northwest Montana. It’s one of Mother Nature’s most prized possessions, crammed end-to-end with snow-capped peaks, blue skies, moose, big-horn sheep, mountain goats and inspiration. And whether you’re riding the hallowed pavement of Going-to-the-Sun Road or the famous Flathead Valley you’ll soon understand why this cycling vacation sells out year after year.

2. Danube and Rhine Luxury River Cruises

Filled with medieval sights and fairy tale castles, the regions along the Rhine and Danube rivers are a place where you wish walls could talk. Here you’ll explore by bike and relax by boat taking in enchanting landscapes while relishing in all-inclusive, once-in-lifetime experiences like a private concert in the opulent, luxurious Palais Liechtenstein or a cable car ride over the Rhine at sunset. These rivers have been capturing hearts for centuries, and yours will be no exception.

3. New Mexico

There is a good reason Northern New Mexico is called the “The Land of Enchantment”, it was the main inspiration for Gerogia O’Keeffe after all. And it plays host to Santa Fe, a city considered to be the epicenter of the American Southwest. Bursting with centuries-old culture, traditional cuisine, famed roads and sacred mesas, by the time this journey comes to an end you’ll be shocked it took you this long to explore a cycling gem that’s been sitting right in your backyard.

4. Tuscany Luxury

A guest and guide favorite, Tuscany’s incredible wine and cuisine paired with its sun-drenched landscapes creates the recipe for an unforgettable and magical trip. Cyclists of all ability can pedal country roads through lush vineyards taking in the sights and smells along the way. And once the riding’s all said and done, you’ll even get the chance to create your own Tuscan feast under the guidance of an Italian master chef. By the time you leave you will be one with the “allegria” that permeates this breathtaking region of Italy.

5. Portugal

Portugal’s rolling countrysides of wheat, olive tree vineyards and cork tree groves are like stepping into the past. Here the pace is anything but fast, with life and cuisine following traditions that have been in place for generations. From delectable meals to Roman temples in towns like Evora, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where city walls and ruins of Roman baths still remain, this is where time stands still, the hustle, bustle and busyness of everyday life are long forgotten and you can simply “be” in one of the most beautiful places on Earth.
