Boulder, Bryce, & Zion Utah Guided Bike Tour

The mountains and high desert of southwest Utah are a cycling and hiking mecca. Our Boulder, Bryce, & Zion Utah guided bike tour delivers a combination of nearly car free roads, jaw-dropping scenery, and plenty of time to stop and explore. Join us for this spectacular journey through Bryce Canyon National Park and Zion National Park in the heart of of the Beehive State on this Utah guided bike tour.

Lizard Head Cycling’s Boulder, Bryce, & Zion Utah guided bike tour rides all 124 miles of Utah’s Highway 12. Highway 12 is a bucket list cycling route that is not ridden in its entirety on most Utah bikes tours. If one thinks they have already “done” Utah, they have not ridden Lizard Head Cycling’s Bike Tour of Utah!

Can I Ride This Tour?
We incorporate easily accessible mileage options so that both intermediate and advanced riders can enjoy this land of the petrified red and white sand dunes of the Aquarius, Colorado and Paunsaugunt Plateaus.

Highlights of the Boulder, Bryce, & Zion Utah Guided Bike Tour

The Boulder, Bryce, & Zion bike tour visits Utah’s most famous natural wonders including Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, Bryce Canyon National Park, and Zion National Park among others.

Is it too Hot in Utah in the Summer?
Utah is hardly the flat desert many believe it to be, it has mountains and our Boulder, Bryce, & Zion Utah guided bike tour rides along at elevations from 6,500-feet up to 10,000-feet. With every 1,000-feet of elevation the temperature is 4 to 5 degrees cooler. So the heat is moderated (like it is in Colorado) due to Utah’s significant elevation.  For example Moab sits at 4,500-feet and is usually 10 to 20 degrees warmer than the BBZ region.

Additionally in July and August this region of Utah receives afternoon rainfall on almost a daily basis. One would not expect this in a “desert”, but Utah topography creates cloud cover that is great for bike riding because it cools the atmosphere.  And finally on warm weeks, we depart early in the morning to ride when it is still cool.

Lizard Head Cycling Guides is a proud member of the Grand Staircase-Escalante Partners in support of their commitment to education, stewardship and restoration of the full National Monument.

NOTE: Plenty of challenging terrain remains on this tour for those that seek it! 😀

Boulder, Bryce, & Zion Bike Tour: Testimonials

Read what previous guests on our Boulder, Bryce, & Zion Utah Guided Bike tour have been saying…

Wow! What a great trip. I have done a dozen cycling trips with six companies, large and small. This Lizard Head trip is top of the heap. Of course Bryce and Zion are magical, and Boulder is a new-found joy that I hope to revisit. All three lodges exceeded our expectations and the food was a treat every night. My experience is that trips are only as good as the trip leaders. Eli and Lauren were excellent. Many thanks to you and your team for a wonderful trip. We hope to join Lizard Head again on future adventures. – Rick

Thank you David and Scott. The experience was epic, and as I emotionally stated earlier, it’s always more than cycling. We overcome mental and physical barriers, but most of all leave with shared memories and new friends. – Rodney

I went on the BBZ bike trip in June 2020 and it was wonderful! Great Guides, Food and they adjusted the trip to meet the Covid guidelines. A little flexibility goes a long way in enjoying a great trip to discover the outdoors! I recommend this trip to anyone who enjoys biking and the beauty of the national parks! – Kim

You guys run a really smooth, smart, inclusive, appropriately challenging operation, and I thoroughly enjoyed every moment of it! I am going to waste no time in telling my riding mates what a serious mistake they made in not joining me for this trip. – Peter

Amazing bike tour with amazing guides. This is an experience not to be missed. This was the first bike tour I have been on and it certainly will not be the last with this team! Looking forward to my next tour. – Denise

On our first trip … there was a group of 13 guys who were maniacs. They wanted a century every day and John helped make that happen with alternate routes for them. The nice thing was, even though these guys were hard core cyclists, at the end of the day, everyone had a great time chatting. – Barb S.

Tour Status Notes: NO STATUS = Date Set, no riders have signed up. TOUR OPENED = Tour Opened, rider minimums not met. TOUR A GO! = Tour is Go, rider minimums met. SOLD OUT = Tour Full, rider maximums met.

Why Should you Sign-Up Now and OPEN a Tour Date?
This is the proverbial chicken and the egg conundrum! We need our cyclists to first commit to the date that works for them so that we can commit to that date.

For starters, when you OPEN a date you get to pick your preferred departure date, and there is no penalty if the tour does not run. Once you pick your tour date, Lizard Head closes nearby dates and funnels all additional riders to your chosen date until the tour meets its 6 rider minimum.

BONUS: As an added bonus, we can also hold a spot for you on another tour date of your choosing. There is no fee to switch to another tour date.

In conclusion, if you want a tour to run, we need you to sign up and not wait for others to do the same! Waiting for others may mean that a tour date takes longer or does not confirm. Just Do It! Once a few riders jump into the proverbial waters, others will follow!

NOTE: In anticipation and encouragement of future tour signups prior to reaching the tour minimum, the Lizard Head Cycling website may be updated to show TOUR A GO prior to actual tour confirmation. So, even if the website says that this tour is a go, please wait for your official Email Confirmation before booking non-refundable travel reservations.

Please note that non-riders cannot check into hotels prior to guide arrival as the guides need to manage the check-in process. Checking in a large group can be challenging and take longer than normal, so non-riders need to hang back and be patient. Non-riding spouses and partners are welcome to join the Lizard Head meal plan which includes breakfasts and dinners for $75 per day. Note: Lunches are not included for non-riders driving their own vehicles due to the inherent variability of both lunch timing and locations. It is best for non-riders to plan to explore each day.

PLEASE NOTE: The first two nights of this tour stays one of our favorite lodges, the Boulder Mountain Lodge. On very limited occurrences at this lodge, private room supplement guests will have a private room with a separate entrance, but may have to share a bathroom with one other guest. This infrequent arrangement is due to the room variations at this boutique lodge. Although we could stay in standard hotels that offer basic private rooms and private baths for everyone, we feel the lodging experience at this highly regarded lodge offers an overall improvement to our tour experience.

Meeting Hotel and Ending Hotel reservations and costs are NOT included unless specified otherwise. Guests are on-their-own to make reservations at the Meeting Hotel or Ending Hotel, or other nearby hotels.

Pre and Post Tour Logistics

Flying to the Tour:  Clients fly into Las Vegas, Nevada and shuttle to St. George, Utah. St. George is 1.5 hours from Las Vegas, Nevada (LAS) airport. Regular shuttle service is available between Vegas and St. George on the St. George Shuttle. The St. George shuttle service delivers passengers to their shuttle base which is about a mile from the designated meeting hotel. Before arriving at the shuttle base passengers should call the designated meeting hotel and ask for their shuttle vehicle to pick them up at the St. George Shuttle base.

NOTE #1: There is a time zone change between Vegas and St. George where you lose an hour.

NOTE #2: There are a limited number of flights into and out of St. George, Utah.

Post Tour Logistics: The Boulder, Bryce, & Zion Utah guided bike tour ends in St. George, Utah on Day 7. Lizard Head Cycling coordinates a 12:30pm Saturday return shuttle from Zion National Park back to the St. George Shuttle base and/or meeting hotel in St. George, Utah (1.15 hour). Cyclists wishing to continue onto Las Vegas (1.5 hrs from St. George) on Day 7 should make their own shuttle reservation with St. George Shuttle. A 2:30pm or later shuttle reservation from the St. George Shuttle base to Vegas is recommended.

NOTE #1: When shuttling to Vegas there is a time zone change where you gain an hour! So if one depart St. George at 3pm, one arrives at 3:30pm Vegas time. As a result, same day return flight reservations can be made at 5pm or later.

NOTE #2: If cyclists wish to stay an extra day in Zion, we suggest they stay another night (Saturday) and take one of the regular shuttles between Zion and St. George on Sunday.

Meals On Tour

Lizard Head Cycling Guides provides most meals on all tours (unless otherwise noted) including breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Guides will prepare a daily lunch en route for nearly every tour, both road and off-road, as well as provide nutritious snacks at periodic aid stations during the day.

Most of our road tours utilize local restaurants for all meals and occasionally guides may prepare a dinner or two during a tour. Due to the nature of being "off the grid", most of our off-road tours feature guide prepared meals for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. FUN NOTE: When guides prepare a meal in camp and the guests sit around and watch, this is called "Guide TV".

We also pride ourselves on being able to cater to specific dietary requests and needs, so rest assured that you will be able to get the nutrition that works best for you during your tour. Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Vegan, or a someone who loves it all – we will keep you well fed during the tour!

Lunches: Lizard Head Cycling Guides prepares healthy lunches to keep you going. We will serve you fresh organic fruits and veggies, salads, hummus, sandwich fixings, nuts, gourmet cheeses and, of course, plenty of salty/sweet snacks such as chips and cookies.

Dinners: On our road tours, Lizard Head Cycling sources our favorite restaurants in each town that we visit. Our guides focus on establishments that offer fresh and local ingredients and guests choose whatever they desire to eat off the menu including: appetizer, salad, entrée, and of course, dessert... yum! Also, while on tour if a guest wants to dine early before the group and go to bed, this is fine. We understand that on some days sleep is the most important post-ride element.

Ability Level: Can I Ride This Tour?

Definition of Ability Levels

= Intermediate (2/3) Rides and/or takes spin classes 1 to 3 times a week for a total of 50 or more miles.
= Upper Intermediate (3) Rides and/or takes spin classes 2 to 4 times a week for a total of 75 or more miles.
= Advanced (3/4) Rides and/or takes spin classes 3 to 5 times a week for a total of 100 or more miles. Has ridden multi-day tours and done a century ride.
= Expert (4) Rides 4 or more times per week totaling 150 or more miles. Rides E.F.I. with regularity. Has done numerous multi-day tours, century rides and races.

How Fit do I Have to Be? If one month prior to the tour, you can ride 2 to 3 times a week equaling a total of 75 or more miles a week, you'll do just fine. We like to jokingly say that "one is ready for a Lizard Head Cycling Tour when they are finished with tour" and this is true! The only way to simulate a week long bike tour is to go on a week long tour.

Our average rider age is 55 years. These are bike tours, not races so we take our time to stop, take pictures and see the sights. We have all day to reach our destination and most riders take "bumps" at some points. We offer reduced mileage options for each day. Of course if someone wants to ride E.F.I. (Every Freaking Inch), we love to show them all the extra climbs, loops and hidden canyons that can be included!

Do the Bump! Daily mileage options allow cyclists of varying abilities to enjoy this tour. One of our favorite options is to give cyclists a "bump" via the support vehicle, or a 10 to 20 mile lift down the road representing an hour of pedal time. After the bump the rider is "off the front" and riding at his or her own pace without feeling they are being left behind the group. They'll then have time to linger and take in the spectacular scenery. All cyclists come together in time for lunch. Afterwards, cyclists can take another bump and/or continue riding.

Seamless Mileage Options: Lizard Head Cycling Guides designs multiple mileage options for each tour – something we're well known for in our business. This technique is similar to heliskiing in that one does not ski everything, they ski the best. 🙂

Slow or Fast? Many cyclists who sign up for our tours have worried themselves silly about not being able to keep up, but then they're surprised to find that all the worrying was about nothing. They do just fine! Slow and Fast only exist relative to other cyclists. Speed does not matter as long as one is moving on the bike. As long as one is moving, they are truly going fast enough.

If you have questions about your ability to ride this tour, please contact our office via email or call us at 970.728.5891 - we'll more than happy to guide you!

Overall Route Map

Below is an example of the daily routes for this tour and are subject to change based on season, available accommodations, road closures, and other factors. The actual routes will be made available to registered participants before their tour, so please view these routes as a general outline as to what to expect.

Boulder, Bryce, & Zion Bike Tour: Itinerary*

*PLEASE NOTE: Tour itineraries are subject to change and modification based on the group, available accommodations, road construction, road closures, and other unforeseen circumstances including weather, wildfires, flooding, hurricanes, landslides and/or other acts of nature. Also, the distances and elevation profiles shown below may not reflect the actual distances and elevations while on tour as these are provided here to give an idea as to the anticipated mileage and terrain. Please view this itinerary, the distances, and elevation profiles as a general outline as to what to expect while on this tour.

Day 0: Arrival in St. George, Utah

Guests fly into Las Vegas’ Harry Reid International Airport (LAS) and arrange for their own shuttle to St. George, Utah via one of the available St. George shuttles (St. George Shuttle; St. George Express) or a rental vehicle. The tour meets early morning on Day 1. Exact time will be sent in the tour’s confirmation document.

Alternatively, guests can also fly into the smaller SGU Regional Airport (SGU) which is serviced by Delta Air Lines from Salt Lake City, Utah and United Airlines from Denver, Colorado.

Day 1: Torrey, Utah and Capitol Reef National Park
Segment #1: 23 miles and 770′ climbing
Segment #2: 23 miles and 1,440′ climbing

This tour starts strong, with the chance to explore Capitol Reef National Park via bike! We’ll depart St. George via van first thing this morning and shuttle to Torrey, Utah. In Torrey we’ll saddle up for our first ride of the trip.

Segment #1 – Torrey, Utah to Capitol Reef National Park: From Torrey, we descend through a Redrock amphitheater to the Fremont River Canyon, where it cuts through the main geologic feature of the National Park, the Waterpocket Fold. The Fold is a wrinkle in the earth’s surface that extends for nearly 100 miles, creating a dramatic landscape of rugged cliffs and canyons, natural bridges, arches, and distinct formations in the heart of red rock country. This warp in the Earth’s crust is a classic monocline: a steep fold on one side of otherwise horizontal geological layers and it is about 7,000 feet higher in the west than on the east. Once we reach the stunning Hickman Natural Bridge we’ll turn around for for a quick pedal (about 2 miles) to the Park’s Visitor Center where we’ll load back up and shuttle to our second ride of the day.

Segment #2 – Larb Overlook to Boulder, Utah: We wrap up the first day of our trip with an epic descent to tonight’s accommodation. From the Larb Overlook we’ll climb over rolling terrain until we reach the top of Boulder Mountain. From there, we’ll fly down 15-miles to the oasis of Boulder, Utah. This is Lizard Head Cycling owner, John’s, favorite location in Utah. After settling in for our 2-night stay, we’ll unwind and dine at the award-winning Hell’s Backbone Grill where gracious owners and wonderful hosts, Jenn and Blake, treat our groups to a truly delicious and eclectic offering of fine dining choices. Their restaurant has received numerous praises, including this New York Times Story.

Day 2: Burr Trail and Long Canyon
Standard: 33 miles and 2,980′ climbing

On Day 2 be amazed as you ride the Burr Trail past the 400-foot tall Wingate sandstone walls of Long Canyon to a dazzling view across the high desert canyonlands (35 miles round trip). This ride is a hidden gem in southern Utah, and offers Lizard Head guests the chance to get off the beaten track and explore a truly wild landscape. After today’s ride we’ll have some free time to enjoy the comfortable accommodations at the Boulder Mountain Lodge. Dinner is at the Hell’s Backbone Grill again tonight, where the welcoming staff will already feel like old friends!

Day 3: Calf Creek Falls Bike-and-Hike, then Ride to Escalante, Utah
Segment #1: 6 miles and 440′ climbing
6-Mile world class hike to Calf Creek Falls
Segment #2: 24 miles and 1,780′ climbing

Today we’ll ride 11-miles to Calf Creek Falls, where cycling shoes are exchanged for hiking shoes. It is a 3 mile hike to reach the desert oasis of the 126-foot tall Calf Creek Falls (an all time best swimming hole)!

Following Calf Creek Falls, we’re off along beautiful Utah State Highway 12 – arguably one of the best cycling roads in the Beehive state, and perhaps the country. The road twists and turns and climbs and dives among the ridges, mesas, and valleys of the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, a 1.9 million acre spectacle of multi-hued cliffs and terraces, with distances that defy human perspective. The highlight of today’s ride is the portion along the ridge of Hell’s Backbone – an awe inspiring exposed piece of highway dropping hundreds of feet on either side. Our accommodation tonight, OfLand Escalante, is a comfortable oasis in the arid landscape.

Day 4: Escalante, Utah to Bryce Canyon National Park
Standard: 49 miles and 4,080′ climbing (shorter options available)

Today we continue southwest towards Bryce Canyon National Park along Utah State Highway 12, enjoying the same fantastic riding we enjoyed yesterday, and soaking up otherworldly landscapes as we go.

There are multiple mileage options available for today of between 20 to 49 miles from Escalante, Utah to Bryce Canyon. Do multiple “bumps” and cherry pick the sections you wish to ride, or go the full distance and experience the entire route.

Lodging tonight is at The Lodge at Bryce Canyon within Bryce Canyon National Park. After a group dinner in the dining room at The Lodge, prepare to take an exhilarating night hike under the stars inside the park.

Day 5: Bryce Canyon National Park to Zion National Park
Segment #1: 36 miles and 2,770′ climbing
Segment #2: 5 miles and 200′ climbing

Today offers a two-segment rid! First, we’ll enjoy the very best of Bryce Canyon National Park. Then, after a midday shuttle, we’ll soak in our first views of the Zion area as we descend to tonight’s accommodation.

On segment #1 we ride to Rainbow Point, the top of Bryce Canyon National Park, for a spectacular early morning view. From the top of the park we ride mostly down through the park and into Red Canyon. NOTE: This first segment’s mileage can be reduced by 16-miles with a shuttle for the first part of the ride, to the top of the park.

From here we shuttle to Segment #2. NOTE: The shuttle skips an extended section of road that can be quite busy. Still, there are options to ride portions of this road, including the beautiful section from Mt. Carmel Junction to Zion, for guests interested in adding mileage.

Segment #2 is all about the view. 15 or 25-miles with 1,400-feet of climbing and 2,700-feet of descending. The ride starts from Mt. Caramel Junction and proceeds into the west entrance of Zion National Park. Jaw dropping sights await including: Checkerboard Mesa, 2,000-foot high sandstone walls, the Zion Tunnel, deep canyons and the switchbacks into the town of Springdale, Utah!

E.F.I. Option for Private Groups: Climb of Pain and Anguish to Panguitch

The below is an E.F.I. (Every Freaking Inch) option for this day that we are excited to offer to Private Groups on the BBZ route. This adds about 50 miles of riding and 5,000 feet of climbing!

Day 6: Layover in Springdale, Utah
Hiking Options in Zion National Park
Optional Unguided Ride: Kolob Terrace Out & Back, 70 miles with up to 6,200 feet of climbing

With a layover day in Springdale, optional on-your-own unguided hiking in Zion National Park certainly beckons and we highly recommend you take advantage of it as Zion offers some of the most scenic hiking of all the national parks. Take the free Zion Canyon Shuttle from Springdale into the park for hiking and then back again when you are finished. The shuttle runs every 10-15 minutes throughout the day, so you will have plenty of time to enjoy your hike.

Some of the trails we recommend in Zion National Park are Angel’s Landing, The Narrows through the Virgin River and Weeping Rock… among many others!

An optional, on-your-own, out and back 70 mile route from Springdale to Kolob Terrace and back can also be ridden. This route offers tremendous views of Zion from above through a diverse landscape.

Day 7: Springdale to Virgin River Narrows
Standard: 18 miles with 1,090′ climbing

On our final day of the tour, we breakfast early and then embark on an early morning sunrise ride into Zion National Park.

First we will ride a flat 7 miles on a park road closed to private vehicles as bikes rule here. Upon entering Zion, the riding experience is sublime with canyon walls towering over 2,000-feet above the road and early morning sunlight dancing along the tops of the white rock peaks… it is gorgeous! Upon reaching the end of the ride, there will be more options to hike around Zion canyon. Another option instead of the riding or hiking is to relax in the quaint downtown of Springdale.

In the mid-afternoon (Saturday), you can take the shuttle back to our meeting hotel in St. George. Choose to spend a night in St. George, or take the shuttle back to Las Vegas.

If you would like to extend your stay in Zion National Park, you are welcome to do so, but all reservations are on-your-own to make in advance. We will even transport your bike back to the shop and have it shipped for you, if you brought your own wheels.

Well Done!

Boulder, Bryce, & Zion Bike Tour: Logistics & FAQs

Bike Shipping

Lizard Head Cycling recommends shipping with BikeFlights.com. Bikes can be shipped either to our partner bike shop in each meeting town for professional assembly or directly to the meeting hotel for self-assembly. Bike boxes can generally be left at the meeting hotel during the tour. Bikes shipped across the continental US should be shipped 8 days prior to your tour.

Tour Support: A 15-passenger van and trailer that carries luggage, food and equipment supports Lizard Head Cycling’s tours. Cyclists keep a day bag that is accessible within the support vehicle.

The vehicle will sag and then pass riders to set up aid stations every 20 to 25 miles. This allows cyclists to linger at the back and then take a ten-mile, fifteen-mile or whatever mile “bump” forward to catch-up or get ahead of the group. Energy food, drink mixes, and fresh fruit are available throughout each stage.

The Daily Schedule: Cyclists ride their own pace. Lizard Head Cycling does its best to support riders in their varying desires and efforts. Cyclists can either use our tours to simply support their tour experience or to engage in a guided experience along the route.

Cue sheets with directions, profiles and locations of aid stations are given out for each stage.
