Your First Active Trip - Go Active, Backroads Style
Active travel is about seeing the world from a whole new perspective. It's about forging new trails and new experiences at your own pace. Backroads creates vacations around activities that yield the richest experience for travelers, whether it's on two wheels, two feet or on the water. Maybe you haven't been on a bike since your college days or perhaps you've just completed another 10-K run; no matter what your fitness level, Backroads’ trips are designed to satisfy your penchant for activity — and with flexibility in mind.

All of Backroads’ biking, walking and multisport vacations feature daily route options of varying length and difficulty that showcase the region's most breathtaking scenery. Trip leaders are there to encourage you and to provide the support you need when you're ready for a break, whether it's a cool drink or a lift back to the hotel. Backroads vacations are designed for active individuals who love the outdoors. However, you don't need to be a fitness guru to enjoy their trips.

Get Active!
Your first active trip begins when you pick up the phone to speak to a Backroads trip consultant who will help you select the best vacation for your interests and level of fitness. They'll also review conditioning trips so you can physically prepare for the trip. Once you're on your way, Backroads' legendary service continues with their trip leaders, the best trained in the industry, who offer support and enrich your experience.

Backroads’ goal is to create a fun, flexible and self-paced environment that allows you to truly experience the best that your destination has to offer. No matter how fast you go, you'll feel as much of an adrenaline rush from the encouragement and camaraderie of your fellow travelers as from the activities. At Backroads, they're committed to making your first active travel experience as much of a discovery about yourself as it is a discovery of the world.
