Tour Itinerary
Day 1: Mountain Biking Meet the group at Holiday Expeditions headquarters in Green River, Utah. A two-hour van ride to the Manti–La Sal National Forest marks the start of the trip. The first day’s ride will take the group along old logging roads through forests consisting of huge ponderosa pine trees and abundant mountain streams. The trail continues to wind northward to altitudes upwards of 8,000 feet. You will camp this evening at or near Bull Draw.
Day 2: Alpine Forest Your ride today requires everyone to tighten their helmet straps and hold on! After a hot breakfast the route begins a breathtaking descent from the alpine forest to the desert floor. Along the way you’ll take time out to appreciate the spectacular overlooks that are abundant in this region. By the end of the day you will have dropped 4,000 vertical feet to the desert floor. You will return by van to Green River.
