Sedona and the Grand Canyon

Mountain bikers rejoice! This tour packs in highlight riding of the Western U.S. Start in Sedona, a red rock playground of slickrock, hard packed silt and ledge filled rides. After a stop near Lake Powell, you head to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon where you will sail through Aspen groves and carve turns right on the rim! A stop in the mountain town of Flagstaff tops off a week of Arizona’s best high elevation singletrack. Self-guided, available mid-May through mid-October.

"Riding the Rainbow Rim trail was the highlight of the tour for me. I found myself navigating twisty single track in a beautiful aspen forest before taking a left hand turn out of the forest and into a wide open view of the Grand Canyon. This trail truly takes your breath away."
