What To Expect
Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area
Red Rock Canyon is known for its interesting formations of red rocks and is a great place to see a plethora of desert wildlife, including wild mustang horses, the desert kit fox and big horn sheep. On this exciting bike tour, you have two choices to make: guided or self-guided tour and Gary Fisher hybrid bike or a Tarmac or Roubaix road bike (see Additional Info below for details on the bikes). Guided Option: Let your professional guide lead you on an awesome, one-way bike ride along a paved loop. This tour is great for the casual cyclist. The scenic loop winds through petrified sand dunes and runs along the base of the Keystone Cliffs. Start at the loop’s highest point and descend 2,500 feet (762 meters) through Red Rock Canyon and back to the tour center. Self-Guided Option: Intermediate and advanced riders may prefer the 23-mile (37-km) self-guided tour.

The Great Bike Hike of 2026

5.00This is a fantastic experience if you enjoy the outdoor views and quality exercise. I recommend sunglasses for the wind, water, and knowing what size helmet you might need! The path is very easy to navigate with minimal to moderate amount of cars on the same path. The first 4 milez are an incline! It will definitely be workout but is so worth it. I would go again.
Could have been better.

3.00Loved the ride. A few things could have been better. There were no cue sheets or maps for the the route. We were confused when we left the red rocks one way back on the highway. With such limited cell phone connectivity we needed something printed. The seat hight was way off. I wasn’t familiar with the specialized adjustment so that took a while. While I was distracted getting the bike rideable, I missed the pre ride discussion. There were no lights or reflectors on the bike. That made riding after 4 pm unsafe.

5.00Great ride in amazing area be prepared to suffer or struggle a bit in the first 4 miles as nearly all uphill though not too steep. Very dry heat but plentiful water supplied by the guide as i was on the guided tour. Very knowledgeable of the area and helpful with ideas on how to tackle the route. Overall excellent half day out and thoroughly recommend if you like cycling at all. If unsure of fitness I’d recommend considering the e-bike option.
Great way to escape the strip!

5.00Excellent trip from the strip to the Red Rock Canyon. Our guide - Eric - picked everyone up on time at the meeting point and transported us to the start point. He was friendly and easy to talk to. The bikes were good and Eric made sure we were all happy, especially making sure we had water he had brought along. The biking was excellent with a bit of a climb for 4 miles but plenty to look at and places to stop at. A stunning route to ride with a bit of traffic but the road was wide and car speed slow so we never felt worried. We chose the self guided tour so rode back to the bike drop off point, an extra few miles but easily done, even riding on the normal roads was not an issue. This trip is a beautiful way to escape the strip for a while and see nature in its beauty, 10/10.
Well organized, nice morning ride

5.00Well organized and run. I had originally signed up "guided" but was the only one so switched to self-guided. Instructions were clear. There was close to five miles of climb, so a low gear. After that mostly downhill with two or three small climbs.
El mejor tour de las vegas, no todo es alcohol, fiesta y apuestas.

5.00The contact was very good at all times, they were attentive to any questions that existed. I reserved a bicycle that is not electric. In my air of grandeur, I thought it would be a good option. But it was not like that. The climbs were very long and tiring, so I stopped to rest on several occasions. The place is beautiful, I would go again a thousand times. When I turn around and see the company van that took us I felt great relief. And yes, not even an hour passed when I started to feel very very tired. She kindly gave me a Raid to make the climb easier. On the descent I enjoyed it too much, the bike is great, nothing is wrong with it, it handles super well, but you need to be in good physical condition. My Tour companions enjoyed the road more, their bike was hybrid and they didn't need to pedal as much. I ended up very tired. The guide was very friendly at all times, she is a great person and I am very grateful that she has been so patient with me. Waiting for my colleagues, we went to her physical store and they have countless bicycles, it is the best bicycle store I know. Moral: if you don't use a bike daily, rent the hybrid bike option. No tengo más fotos, porque la subida me costó mucho jaja.
