Experience Utah With Our Bryce Canyon/ Zion Biking & Hiking Tour

Bryce and Zion Canyons, located only 40 miles apart, are two of the early additions to our national park system, for obvious reasons.  In them we find deep canyons,  startling hoodoos of Bryce Canyon National Park,  rock temples of Zion National Park, a breathtaking array of color, a large variety of vegetation, all surrounded by the high alpine setting of the Dixie National Forest. It all contributes to the excitement of the Bryce Canyon/Zion biking and hiking tour. Our trip focuses on the Southwestern corner of Utah, including Bryce Canyon and Zion National Parks, and Cedar Breaks National Monument. An area of indescribable beauty, these park lands offer convincing testimony to the awesome forces of nature.  We will have 2 1/2 days to explore the awesome hiking opportunities in the national parks, and 4 1/2 days of spectacular cycling through geologic features from another world.  We stay in the historic national park lodges, surrounded by the public lands.  Note that because of the large differential in elevations, temperatures may also fluxuate greatly.  Come prepared to enjoy all weather and fantastic scenery.
