Little did we know that The Red Rock Canyon eBike tour would be the highlight! John and Allison’s care and knowledge of both the area and the eBikes is impressive. Communication, pickup and drop off was seamless. The ride was incredible… very entertaining, safe and informative in a beautiful location. Better than snorkeling in Iceland. 😊 …Lighten up while you still can!”

It's thrilling to bike through that beautiful scenery and catch some speed on the downhills. We went on a short hike to see the petroglyphs. Getting picked up at Treasure Island was super convenient - there's a Starbucks right there if you need to get your morning cup o' joe before you head out. Can't recommend enough!”
