Cycle Colorful Colorado Bike Tour

It’s hard to get much better than Colorado road bike touring! The views are as varied as they are breathtakingly beautiful. You’ll pedal across high alpine with wide-open vistas and down into desert canyons, past mountains and stunning peaks. You’ll even pedal across the continental divide (with one heck of a downhill)!

Just imagine relaxing in Glenwood Springs’ world-famous hot springs or in a historic mining town at a sweet little hotel. Designed to make the most of your time by riding every day and minimizing the climbing. Years from now, you’ll be talking about your bike trip to Colorado.

Custom bike tour departures available for groups of 6 or more.

Day 1: Kick it into gear at Keystone, and meet up with the rail-trail system of Summit County. Circle Lake Dillon, ride through the mountain town of Frisco and hop on the Blue River Bikeway all the way into Breckenridge.
