A favorite retreat and source of inspiration for renowned photographer, Ansel Adams, and author, John Muir (founder of the Sierra Club), the Sierra Nevada Mountains have a special place in the hearts and minds of the nation.
What better way to experience this inspirational scenery than from your road bike! Touring the High Sierras by bicycle means high elevation passes, crisp mountain air, and breathtaking views! Ride from the elegant log cabin town of Truckee down to the shores of Lake Tahoe, the largest, bluest mountain lake in the world! For the next few days, cycle over several challenging mountain passes in the California backcountry. Biking through giant sugar pine forests and mountain meadows, this road cycling vacation promises a delightful collection of lodging and state park visits along the way. The trip affords the athletic road cyclist a thrilling journey of challenge and accomplishment!
