Itinerary

Day 1 | Orientation, East Rim Viewpoint
After a quick pre-trip meeting and lunch, we’ll test out our bikes on a little used doubletrack near our camp in the Kaibab National Forest. A few miles of jeep road will deliver us to a short section of singletrack along the acclaimed Arizona Trail. As we continue on we’ll pass through abundant ponderosa pine forests and many beautiful mountain meadows. This is our opportunity to acclimate, and get used to our bikes. The last section of our ride delivers us to the secluded East Rim of the Grand Canyon, our camp for the next two nights.

Today’s ride is a combination of double track and fire roads that lead us over to our second camp. On this section of riding we’ll navigate through the deep backcountry of Kaibab National Forest. If we're lucky we'll catch glimpses of wildlife along the way. It’s a long ride, almost 25 miles! But don’t worry, the van is never too far away and we’re always happy to help out with a relaxing break. Once we reach camp we're treated toan awe-inspiring view of the main part of the canyon. Over the next two days we’ll have plenty of time to enjoy the view and contemplate the forces of nature that created this remarkable monument. This afternoon, relax at camp or venture out to the rim for a short stroll along the Rainbow Rim Trail, our challenge over the next two days. We all gather together again for dinner and another awesome sunset as we lookout upon the Tapeats Amphitheater of the Grand Canyon.
