Nevada Red Rock & Vegas

Unending sunshine with the most colorful mosaic display of mountain and valley desert landscapes. Welcome to an unforgettable 4-day bike tour through the captivating vistas of Southern Nevada, as you pedal through parts of the majestic Mojave Desert, soaking in its rugged beauty and unique charm. Along the way you’ll explore iconic landmarks such as the Valley of Fire, Red Rock Canyon, and River Mountains.

Our tour begins in Las Vegas, the entertainment capital of the world. Daily rides in both rural and urban settings contrast the diversity of this geologically historic area.  From the neon lights and musical sounds of the Vegas Strip to the natural pink and orange hues of the sandstone walls of the Mojave you may need sunglasses day and night.

But the adventure doesn’t stop there. As the sun sets, immerse yourself in the vibrant nightlife of Las Vegas, including world-class amusements, dining, and endless spectacle.

And for a change of pace we visit the charming enclave of Boulder City where we will experience the engineering marvel of the Hoover Dam. Each day is filled with new experiences and breathtaking sights, this bike tour promises an unforgettable journey through the heartland of Southern Nevada.

Day 1: Our tour begins in electrifying Las Vegas, known for its entertainment, award winning restaurants, and glitzy nightlife. We begin today with an unforgettable ride starting on the urban Northern and Western Beltway Trails and then onto the Red Rock Canyon Road bicycling between Cowboy Canyon and Red Rock Canyon, from the Centennial Hills suburb of Las Vegas to the quaint town of Blue Diamond. We will hike today in the Calico Basin and ride the Red Rock Canyon Scenic Loop Drive. Our lodging tonight is in the Arts District, and our evening is spent exploring Las Vegas.

Day 2: Today we leave Sin City behind and embrace a scenic bike ride that takes you through the Valley of Fire State Park, offering 50,000 acres of awe and wonder.  We bike through some of the most notoriously named landscapes in Nevada like Elephant Rock, Rainbow Vista, Atlatl Rock and Mouse’s Tank Road. The day culminates with a hike on the Owl Canyon Trail and a shuttle to our lodging in Boulder City.

Day 3: We leave from our hotel in Boulder City on bike to ride in the part of the eastern Mojave desert known as River Mountains. On this paved loop trail created just 25 years ago you’ll pass by two ancient volcanoes. The 35 mile path zips through a wild fusion of landscapes—craggy mountains, rugged desert and majestic lake views. Hiking today is on the Black Mountain Trail.

Day 4: Depart from the hotel and ride to Hoover Dam all on trail. How fun is that? Once at the dam, we’ll take a private tour and learn how it was built, it’s history, and how it provides electrical power to half a million homes. After our walking tour we will return to Boulder City by bike, then hike the IMBA and West Log Loop before we prepare to depart and say our goodbyes.
