Tour Overview
Tucson | Patagonia Lake | Tubac
Our bike tour in Arizona’s Sonoran Desert and Saguaro National Park has been recognized by Outside Magazine as a “life-list-worthy” experience. This acclaimed bike trip begins in the shadow of Tucson’s Santa Catalina Mountains before leading into Saguaro National park’s Cactus Loop to showcase the region’s unusual ecosystem of giant Saguaro cacti. Climb the Gates Pass to the west side of Saguaro National Park to ride to the highly acclaimed Arizona Desert Museum. Within Patagonia Lake State Park, enjoy an exclusive picnic lunch on the banks of the park’s sapphire-blue, namesake lake. Discover local birdlife on an avian adventure with a professional birder, or ride to the artsy town of Tubac for gallery browsing, spa time, and golf. Cycle through unusual rock formations en route to remote Pena Blanca Lake, then continue to Tumacacori to visit Arizona’s oldest Spanish mission site. As you pedal through the Sonoran Desert and Saguaro National Park, rugged mountains, expansive views dotted with giant cacti, sprawling cattle ranches, rural roads, and native wildlife make for a stunning backdrop.
