Tour Overview
Tuscon | Patagonia | Tubac
For more than a decade now, Sojourn has been a leader and a pioneer in developing Southern Arizona Bicycle Tours in the Sonoran Desert and Saguaro National Park as one of the most acclaimed bike trips in the country. Outside Magazine recognizes Sojourn’s Southern Arizona guided cycling trip as a “life-list-worthy tour” featuring miles of fabulous cycling through the Sonoran Desert that leads to a quaint artsy border town of Tubac.
Indulge in an exclusive picnic lunch on the banks of sapphire blue Patagonia Lake. Post lunch, take an avian adventure with a professional birdwatcher. Visit the lively town of Tubac, a popular southwestern artisan colony, and ride to beautiful and remote Pena Blanca Lake and Arivaca. Southern Arizona’s the Sonoran Desert is framed by rugged mountains and features open vistas filled with an abundance of cacti and native wildlife. The region is also home to sprawling cattle ranches and rural roads where you’re more likely to encounter cows than motorized vehicles. These open vistas inspire a sense of freedom and “get away from it all” rejuvenation.
