Explore the wonders of Moab on this guided cycling adventure
Explore the otherworldly landscapes of Moab on the 6-day guided Magnificant Moab Cycling Tour! Moab and the surrounding area is one of the gems of Utah, offering quintessential rocky desert scenery and incredible cycling routes. The roads are usually quiet, so you won’t have much to distract you from the amazing sandstone scenery.
This tour explores the one-of-a-kind Canyonlands and Arches national parks from your central hotel in Moab. Ride rolling hills, challenging steep sections, and flat stretches, pushing your skill level. You’ll be rewarded every mile with views of Utah’s best landmarks, like Delicate Arch and Double Arch. The Magnificent Moab Cycling Tour is one of the best ways to experience Utah’s best.
Meet the shuttle at the Grand Junction airport or arrange to be picked up from your hotel to begin the tour. After the drive to Moab, you’ll have time to fit your bike and get prepared for your upcoming rides. Tonight you’ll have an orientation dinner with the group.
After taking the shuttle to Cisco, you’ll begin your bike ride back to Moab. Your route follows the Colorado River as you ride through the spectacular sandstone landscape. The Colorado River runs from Colorado into the Gulf of Mexico, crossing the border and covering 1,450 miles. Enjoy the fantastic views from its shores.
Bike through the strange orange and red landscape to the Arches. You’ll get off your bike to hike to the Delicate Arch, a natural sandstone formation, before heading back.
Today you’ll be cycling to the Canyonlands National Park, a favourite for adventurers both local and from abroad. The dramatic mesa known as the Island in the Sky is your destination! This red-rock formation almost looks like another planet.
Enjoy the stunning views before heading back to your hotel for the evening.
Your route today will be challenging and spectacular. You’ll ride along the Colorado River and into the dramatic La Sal Mountains, taking on great climbs and exhilarating descents as you make your way around the La Sal Loop.
After the excitement of the day, kick back with a drink and dinner in Moab.
After yesterday’s exertions, you’ll appreciate the easier ride today. In the morning you’ll cycle the Blue Mountain Loop through the Abajo Mountains, which are often snow-capped despite the desert heat.
When you return, the shuttle will bring you back to Grand Junction where your tour concludes.

I’ve been using 10Adventures route guides for a while, but had never booked a tour. My wife and I booked a self-guided hike in Greece and were so impressed with how we were able navigate the route without a guide with the detailed and easy to follow itinerary. We enjoy travelling independently, and 10Adventures made that happen.

I was going through a tough time and really needed a getaway so I decided to book a tour through 10Adventures. My trip to Peru changed my life in so many positive and eye-opening ways. I am so thankful for the kind, empathetic team at 10Adventures.
Lina K.
I’ve adventured around a lot of Canada and the US, but I’ve always wanted to explore other parts of the world. I felt a bit scared before booking my trip to Israel, but my conversations with the team at 10Adventures helped ease any worry. I can’t wait to explore more of the world!
Gabriela H.
Travel companies have had to go through a lot during the pandemic but 10Adventures were super flexible and accommodating nonetheless. I had to cancel my tour in France due to the pandemic. 10Adventures was great and let me reschedule for a later date!

My wife Sarah and I had a great experience booking our 7-day cycling trip through Portugal via 10Adventures. The communication between us and Nadine leading up the trip was top-notch!

Communicating with 10Adventures feels like talking with a family-run business. I love to explore and travel, and exploring with the comfort of knowing I can talk to the team at 10Adventures with almost immediate feedback helps to ease any stress that comes with adventuring!

Whenever I’m looking for my next adventure 10Adventures never fails. Their routes all over England are my main go to for exploring and I have only had great experiences booking both guided and self-guided trips in Europe and South America with them. I am looking into Africa next.

I tend to have a lot of questions before travelling and was so happy to find that the team at 10Adventures responded to every single one of my inquiries in a timely fashion. I was never left waiting and waiting for a response. This was much appreciated!
Isabella N.
I have horrible dietary issues making it super hard to book a pre-planned trip sometimes, but the communication through 10Adventures helped me navigate this situation! I am so grateful for all of their help. I cant wait to book with them again!

I just got back from backpacking in the Sierra Nevada, and WOW. What an unreal journey! The alpine meadows, waterfalls, and the lakeside camping spot were memorable highlights! I wonder what other tours 10Adventures has to offer. That one went so well that I am now convinced I need to book another!
Robert D.
I'm not a big fan of traveling because of my fear of flying, but my girlfriend convinced me to go on the Aurora Borealis Tour in the Yukon. I will never forget the mesmerizing northern lights. Such a romantic (and cold) getaway. I would highly recommend it.
Monica L.
Wow! I am so happy with the experience I had with booking through 10Adventures for my tour in Italy! I worked with Nadine and she was super easy-going and helpful when it came to tweaking the itinerary provided on the website. 10/10 would book through 10Adventures again.
