Routebeschrijving

Inclusief / Niet inclusief – lodging

Day 1: Hoover Dam - A"Dam" fine ride!

Completed in 1936, the Hoover Dam holds back 112-miles of the Colorado River, creating Lake Mead – America’s largest reservoir. While it has long been surpassed as the world’s tallest dam, it remains an engineering marvel of its time. An entire city – Boulder City – was built to complete its construction. Super-sized fridges had to be designed to cool the massive concrete blocks which otherwise would have required over a century to harden! Marvel at the death-defying tales of Native American “high scalers” who worked on the vertiginous canyon walls. Most important of all, enjoy the scenery, this ride is magnificent! Our route takes us along the lake to the dam and returns via Boulder City for a relaxing evening at the Hilton Lake Las Vegas.
Meals; lunch and dinner, lodging: Hilton Lakes Las Vegas
Distance; 23 or 48 miles, elevation: +1,864 ft / -1,976 ft or +3,921 ft / -3,923 ft

Day 2: Ride the Valley of Fire

Hop in the van for a brief shuttle to Valley of Fire Highway into Nevada’s oldest and biggest state park. Ride a road that is one of those gorgeous surprises parked in the middle of nowhere. Glowing red-gold Aztec sandstone is highlighted with 3,000-year-old Anasazi petroglyphs, ancient trees, beaver tail and cholla cacti. Roadtrippers says, “…it will have you reaching for the camera at every turn.” Springtime is ablaze with desert marigold, indigo bush, and desert mallow. Watch for desert bighorn sheep!
Meals; Breakfast, lunch and dinner, lodging: Hilton Lakes Las Vegas
Distance; short route: 37.9 miles long route 66.6 miles, elevation short +2684 ft / -2829 ft long +4864 ft / -4867

Day 3: Ride over Daylight Pass and enjoy a gentle 26-mile descent into Death Valley

Transfer to Death Valley National Park this morning. Pedal from the ghost town of Rhyolite on the park’s eastern edge up to Daylight Pass. The view from the summit (4,317 feet) captures Death Valley in microcosm: sun-blanched, desolate and vast. Cruise a 26-mile downhill for your first look at the valley up close. Spend the next 3 nights at the Ranch at Death Valley. Enjoy the pool!
Meals; Breakfast and lunch lodging: Ranch at Death Valley
Distance; 37.8 miles, elevation +1150 ft / -5049 ft

Day 4: Hike through Golden Canyon to Zabriskie Point, ride to Badwater and visit Artist Palette.

Hike Golden Canyon this morning, a 3-mile stroll along a path lined with massive boulders and pastel-hued dunes. Finish at Zabriskie Point, one of Death Valley’s most famous viewpoints. The maze of crazily eroded, painted badlands makes a great photo spot. Snap a few, then ride to Badwater Basin for lunch at the lowest point on the continent: 282 feet below sea level! Before you head back to the Ranch for a drink and a splash in the pool, visit Artist’s Palette. Here, oxidation in the metals contained in the rock paints the hills in an amazing rainbow of hues. Dinner is on your own tonight.
Meals; lBreakfast and lunch lodging: Ranch at Death Valley
Distance; 38 miles, elevation +1304 ft / -2162 ft

Day 5: Hike Ubehebe Crater, then ride to Mesquite Flat Sand Dunes

.
The Ubehebe (“yoo-bee-hee-bee”) Crater is a 600-foot-deep crater that was created when hot magma met the groundwater in this region, creating a giant bubble of steam and gas that exploded from the earth. Shuttle to the crater in the morning for a 1.5-mile hike around the rim. Then hop on your trusty velocipede for a mostly downhill pedal to Mesquite Flat Sand Dunes. Should these dunes appear somehow familiar, perhaps they are. You may recognize them as the dunes of planet Tatooine in the original Star Wars movie. Lunch is on your own today.
Meals; breakfast and dinner, lodging: Ranch at Death Valley
Distance; 44.3 miles, elevation +856 ft / -3398 ft

Day 06: Take a stroll at Badwater, admire Artist’s Palette and pedal to Furnace Creek

Shuttle (or start early and ride) to Badwater Basin, the lowest point on the continent at a whopping 282 feet below sea level! Admire Artist’s Palette, where oxidation of the metals in the rock “paints” the hills an amazing rainbow of colors. Stroll the salt flats while we ready the bicycles for the ride back to Furnace Creek. Enjoy a celebratory lunch at the Oasis and a welcome shower before you hop into the van and head back to Las Vegas.
Meals: Breakfast and lunch Distance; 17.6 miles, elevation +822 ft / -0723 ft (one way)

Lodging

Hilton Lake Las Vegas
Ranch at Death Valley
The hotels, Inns, and B&Bs we use are always among the finest the area has to offer. Our smaller group sizes(max. 13) allow us to stay at some award-winning places that can’t handle groups of 25 or more. We work closely with the innkeepers to make sure they understand your needs and ours, whether that is having a place to store your bike, an early morning breakfast or a convenient place to park the van, they are as committed to your vacation experience as we are.
Lodging is based upon two people to a room with a private bath. If you’re traveling solo on any of our trips, we’ll assign you a roommate of the same gender and often of the same age bracket. There is no extra charge if we can’t find you a roommate, even if you sign up the day before the trip starts. You can guarantee yourself a private room and bath if you pay the Single Room Fee. Occasionally a room with two beds consists of one bed plus a rollaway bed or sofa bed.

Vaccine or test: A negative Covid test will be required within 72 hours of departure for all non-fully vaccinated guests. or Proof of a completed Covid vaccination course can be used in lieu of a Covid test. A "completed Covid vaccination course" means that the guest has had 1 or 2 shots (depending on vaccine brand) and has completed the 2-week waiting period post final shot.

Prior to your bike tour, we request your height in order to choose the right frame size for you. (If you have a fit sheet or sizing information on your personal bicycle, you are welcome to send that to us, and we will do our best to match your geometry and specs.) On the first day of each bicycle tour, your guides tweak your bike fit to make sure you are as comfortable as possible. If they can’t get the fit just right, we typically carry a couple of extra sizes. We try to make sure we have the right size and type of bike you need to enjoy your cycling vacation.
