Soaring red stone spires and ancient citadels of rich Navajo sandstone give way to haunting hoodoos and curving arches of rock, a geologist’s and adventurer’s dream come true. Located where the Southern Wasatch Range meets the Colorado plateau, scientists call this a “super-sequence”: a vast series of massive, high altitude islands that rise above the Four Corners region. Welcome to Utah’s Color Country. Nonetheless scientists aren’t the only ones carried away by this area. Owing to the largest concentration of parklands in North America, plus fast, narrow trails, this is no less than a mountain biker’s paradise, as well.

  • How long is the tour? How many days cycling?

    The tour is 6 days long with 6 days of cycling.

  • Can you tell me about the food on tour?

    Food is a big part of the experience. The guides prepare all of your meals on the camping trip. Expect three delicious meals a day consisting entirely of freshly prepared foods. These include fresh organic fruits and vegetables as well as meats. There will also be energy snacks aboard the support vehicles. Don’t be surprised if your guides purchase fresh fruits and healthy snacks throughout the day while you are out riding. They may just show up on the trail with a local treat!

    Many guests are vegans or vegetarians, whom the tour operator is more than happy to accommodate. If you have special diet requirements or limitations, just let us know when you sign-up and the tour operator will work with you to meet your needs.

  • Is there phone reception in the areas visited?

    Cell service for this tour is spotty. Verizon is the best service to have for this area.

  • Do I need to bring my own camping gear?

    Camping gear may be rented or you may bring your own. The tour operator's camp gear package includes a three-man tent with ground tarp, sleeping bag, bag liner, full size pillow, raised cot and self-inflating ground pad.

  • Are there any limits on what I should bring?

    Luggage is limited to one small soft-shelled suitcase or medium/large sized duffel bag (no heavier than 40 pounds). Please ensure your luggage container is water repellant. The tour operator also suggests bringing a hydration daypack or small backpack for valuables.

  • What's the weather like?

    You will be riding and sleeping at elevations over 4,000 ft. (1219m) for this trip. Weather predictions in this area are often unreliable due to the elevation, so it is best to be prepared for cold evenings and inclement weather.

  • How should I prepare for the trip?

    For optimal physical preparation, the tour operator recommends that you ride at least several hours per week during the month preceding the tour. During the tour, you will be on your bike every day, and they can assure you that an unprepared bottom is a sore one! If you can’t ride your bike or don’t own one, take a spin class at your local gym a few times a week.


  • What is the operator's environmental stance?

    They don’t just preach environmental awareness, they live it. The tour operator recycles 90% of our waste and run their LEED Platinum facilities with solar and wind power. Additionally, their facilities are net-zero energy (they produce more energy than is consumed) which makes them the only commercial outfitter in the world who is net positive energy.

  • What's the tour like?

    The tour is classified as moderate/active with a Fitness Level: 2-4 and Technical Level: 2-3 Biking. The tour is suitable for families with older kids, solos, couples & friends.


  • Are bikes available to hire?

    Yes. Make your trip as comfortable as possible on the body, as simple as possible for traveling, and hassle-free on tour. By choosing to rent a bike, the tour operator will fit you with the newest, highest quality gear in the industry.

    The tour operator provides only high-end bicycles from Santa Cruz and Specialized. They replace their rental fleet each season to ensure all rentals meet their high standards. All of the mountain bikes are equipped with full suspension frames and disc brakes designed for a smooth, comfortable ride.

My wife, I and our two 9 year old twins just returned from a 6 day camping, mountain biking and hiking trip in Bryce Canyon and Zion. We're not avid outdoors people or super athletic, so weren't sure how well the experience would turn out, especially for the kids- but we had a fantastic experience! Merrick and Katie were our guides for the trip and they did a great job of ensuring that each of us had a great experience- at each of our individual paces and endurance levels. We had the chance to experience the great outdoors as a family, learn new experiences, and end the trip wanting to do more! Merrick was a fantastic cook and was great with the kids. Definitely a great experience and we highly recommend it, especially for families looking for an experience like this to expose their kids to new adventures and a new appreciation for the outdoors.

This was my eleventh mtn. bike trip with [the tour operator]. I would like to commend the guides, Tim and Kevin, for a well managed trip experience. On our fifth day we had some adversity due to rain that required flexibility and inventiveness to overcome. Tim was more than up to the task and we almost did not miss a beat. He is a professional.

My wife and I did the 6 day Bryce/Zion Mountain Bike/Hiking tour with [the tour operator], and I would give the trip 6 stars out of 5.
We were a group of 6, with an age span of 45y, and a wide range of biking ability, and our 2 guides, Tim and Kevin, managed to accommodate all of us. They were constantly evaluating what the best options would be for each of us, and we rode PHENOMENAL trails.
Everything in the offering was top-notch, from the bikes, to the spotless, spacious van, to the selection of campgrounds and the meals during the tour. Most of the times, the trail started and ended right at the campground, and we had minimal transfer time. All was done to maximize the biking/hiking time.
Our guides went above and beyond our expectations. As an example, they had a spare bike that one of the guests used after her own bike broke.
The exceptional scenery, trail length, knowledge and riding skills of our guides made up for a perfect vacation. This is our 2nd time with [the tour operator], and we look at them as being best in class.
The day starts with an early cold breakfast, as early as 6am, then a full, hot breakfast around 7am, followed by a morning ride/hike until lunch time. Ample snacks, bars, water is provided for the rides. Afternoon/evening rides follow, then a 3-course dinner made from scratch, and a good night of sleep under the stars.
We just LOVED the time we spend on this trip!
