Bryce Canyon, Zion, and Grand Canyon Bicycle Tour 2001

January 30, 2010 by Paul McClellan Leave a Comment

In June 2001 Linda and I joined a supported bicycle tour and visited Bryce Canyon, Zion, and Grand Canyon National Parks. The tour was organized by Cycle America and Pedal the Peaks, a company based in Cannon Falls, Minnesota.

We decided to rejoin Cycle America for their Bryce Canyon, Zion, and Grand Canyon National Parks Bicycle Tour in 2001 after enjoying their Glacier and Waterton Lakes National Parks Bicycle Tour the previous August. This tour was held twice in the summer of 2001. We selected the earliest, which ended at the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. The timing was better for us, and it seemed fitting to finish there. We again selected the camping option, rather than the motel option, and enjoyed meeting the other campers. The tour was organized by Cycle America and Pedal the Peaks, a company based in Cannon Falls, Minnesota.

In March 2000 Linda and I joined the Death Valley Wildflower Tour, a supported bicycle tour exploring Death Valley National Park. This tour was organized by Country Spokes, a family-run company based in Walnut Creek, California.

By the summer of 1999 we had ridden several supported bicycle tours. Ken, one of our Salem Bicycle Club friends, shared some of those rides with us. He told us how much he had enjoyed the wildflower scenery and gourmet food of the Death Valley Wildflower Tour. During the following wet Oregon winter Linda and I decided to get away from the rain and join this tour.

In July 2000 Linda and I joined a supported bicycle tour and visited Glacier and Waterton Lakes National Parks. The tour was organized by Cycle America and Pedal the Peaks, a company based in Cannon Falls, Minnesota.

We decided to join Cycle America during the Death Valley Wildflower Tour in March 2000. Their Grand Canyon/Zion/Bryce tour interested us, but we decided visiting Glacier and Waterton Lakes National Parks would provide more variety after visiting Death Valley. For the tour we selected the camping option, rather than the motel option, and thereby enjoyed meeting many other campers.
