On this Family Trip, only one option each day doesn't include any significant gain or loss in elevation. Liberal van shuttling is incorporated into the itinerary to facilitate our activities and mileage is kept moderate to enable you to spend more time exploring on your own.

The majority of biking on this Family Multisport Trip takes place on bike paths, however some routes are on main roads. Hiking routes follow mountains paths with uneven terrain that is gently rolling with a few steeper hills, including challenging ascents and descents. Please note: while distances may appear short, hiking and biking is made more difficult by the altitude.
