National Park Red-Rock Wonders
Test your mettle. Tackle ascents through epic canyons. Ride thrilling downhills beside grand rock formations. You'll marvel at how wind and water can produce such beautiful scenes in these two famed national parks. But most of all, just enjoy it. And when you return home, the challenge becomes finding routes that can live up to these.
Highlights
- Ascend through subalpine life zones to remarkable views of the Claron Formation, found in Cedar Breaks and Bryce Canyon National Parks
- Spin past intriguing Checkerboard Mesa, sculpted and etched by eons of weathering and erosion, as you enter famous Zion National Park
- Pedal through jaw-dropping Red Canyon, surrounded by monoliths with vibrant shades of red and pink
- Hike in Bryce Canyon amid the otherworldly hoodoos and spires of Queen's Garden and Inspiration Point

We want to make sure you're on the trip that's right for you. Every Backroads trip is unique and this one is no exception.
While the Best Western Bryce Canyon Grand Hotel reflects the natural surroundings of the national park and provides unparalleled access to the best activities in the area, it is simpler than is typical of Backroads lodging. Overall, the service standards can seem slow and casual when compared with the hospitality found on other Backroads trips. Please note that internet and cell phone service are extremely limited throughout the parks.
The properties we use on this trip are chosen for their character and ideal location—they are not known for their food. Meals can be simple and menu options tend to lack variety. Please be aware that options for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and low-carb meals will be especially limited and substitutions are rarely available.
While Backroads strives to find roadways that are quiet and off the beaten track, some routes on this trip follow heavily trafficked roads. On Day 4 everyone shuttles to avoid a busier section of our route.
