Outside Magazine reports on one of our most sought-after desert and canyon tours and gives us the thumbs up—here, the Whiterock Canyons Tour in Utah gets a best-of in Outside Magazine. The tour includes nothing less than spectacular geography including such notables as the Burr Trail, Hell’s Backbone, Bryce Canyon, Capitol Reef National Park and Grand Staircase and Escalante National Monument. Outside deems the Whiterock Canyon tour one of the “Best Southwestern Adventures” set in “Utah’s most jaw-dropping landscapes along well-kept and lesser-traveled back roads where the only obstacles are rattling cattle guards.” Right they are.

A memoir-style account, author Christopher Solomon joins us on tour and details a Lizard Head Cycling Guides classic: Redrock Canyons Tour, Utah and Colorado, for the Sunday New York Times. It would be amiss to say the red rock landscape rivals that of its sister tour, the Whiterock Canyons Tour, because they are simply both uniquely magnificent. The author colorfully recounts 4:45 a.m. starts, 400-plus miles of riding over five days in “4 Corners, 2 Wheels.”

“High up in the mountain hamlet of Ophir, Colorado, John Humphries proudly watches as his two young boys tear down the dirt roads on two wheels. He knows the freedom of a bike,” begins author Cindy Fusting in the summer/fall 2012 issue of TellurideStyle Magazine.
Fusting takes the local angle on Lizard Head Cycling Guides history which starts at home in Ophir and reaches as far as the Gila National Forest, Glacier National Park and Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
