The American Southwest is a land of striking contrasts, with soaring cliffs, deep canyons, and vibrant desert landscapes that showcase their beauty with every passing mile. Our self-guided cycling and hiking trips through Utah’s canyon country, Sedona, and the Grand Canyon are designed to let you experience these wonders at your own pace. Before you set off, here are a few important things to know to make the most of your adventure.
Self‑guided trips from Great American Trails provide you with bikes, pre‑loaded routes, accommodations, and on‑route logistics, while letting you travel at your own pace without a guide riding alongside. You’re in control of the timing, daily distance, meals, and rest, yet still supported by local logistics, bike fit, and emergency assistance.
If you think that independent hikes or rides is a better option than organized active trips, this review of both styles may make you think again
