United States Active & Adventure Tours

It's been more than 40 years since the first Backroads guests hopped on their bikes and set off to discover the American West. In that time, we've fine-tuned our original tours and uncovered exciting new ones, extending our reach as far as Maine and the American South. From Alaska’s Kenai to Utah’s Zion, join us for hiking and biking adventures and discover a new world close to home.
