Experience the rugged Western USA, on this 8-day Self-guided tour, beginning in Colorado and looping through the fantastic Rocky Mountains and the wide-open canyon expanses of Utah and Arizona before returning back to end in central Colorado.
Beginning and ending in Aurora Colorado, you will ride through the majestic scenery of Colorado, Utah & Arizona stopping along the way to soak up the vast beauty and amazing canyons giving you a close-up view of the amazing scenery.   
While this loop can be ridden throughout the summer, if taken in late summer, you will find the temperatures more comfortable and you will ride through the Fall Majesty of the mountains of Colorado & Utah. At this time of year these areas are well into the cooler weather of autumn, and frosty areas can be found, giving the mountains a bright golden covering as aspen leaves change color.
Ride over 14,000-foot passes and visit some of the outstanding National Parks located in this Western riding paradise.
