What Guests are Saying
Couple enjoying California roads on a self-guided tour

We were all blown away by the beauty of this area and the accommodations. I don’t think we could have had better guides. There were 14 of us on trip. The ebike was a really nice way to keep the group together when we had a wide range of biking abilities.

Trip Inclusions

Additional Details

Know Before You Go!

We want you to be fully prepared for your cycling vacation of a lifetime. This involves making sure that you choose the appropriate trip for you and that every aspect of your experience is flawless. Each Trek Travel trip is unique to ensure maximum enjoyment every time.

Your Trip Need to Knows:

  • Road conditions: Road quality is, overall, good. Every year a new section of road is repaved but there can be some rough surfaces. Typically, traffic is low to moderate, but weekend days can see an increase due to more tourists in the area.
  • Packing: Layers! Layering is the best way to regulate your body temperature. This tried-and-true strategy is all about slipping layers on and off as your activity level or the weather changes.
