Why
Take a Mountain Biking
Vacation?

A
mountain biking vacation is a
great way to unwind for a
while and explore America.
Several companies organize
mountain biking tours that go
through scenic areas, and
often arrange accommodations
for travelers. A mountain
biking vacation can be perfect
for an athletic couple looking
to relax and get some exercise
together.
Every region of the United
States has some great mountain
biking trails. It is not just
major mountain ranges that
have the best mountain biking
trails, but any scenic, hilly,
rough trail can provide riders
with all the thrills and
adventure that they need. Some
of the best places to mountain
bike in the United States are
the Southwest, Pacific
Northwest, and Southeastern
states like North Carolina.
Pretty much the entire
American West is a great place
for a mountain biking
vacation, but the Southwest is
quickly becoming a popular
spot for the sport. Some of
the best mountain biking
trails in the Southwest are
the Pinery Canyon Road in
Arizona, South Boundary Trail
in New Mexico, and Flume Trail
in Nevada. All of these trails
deserve their reputations as
tough challenges that are well
worth the hard work for the
scenic ride. Each of these
trails is over 20 miles long,
with Pinery Canyon Road being
the longest at 50 miles. Of
course, people don’t have to
ride the entire trail.
The Pacific Northwest is
another great destination for
a mountain biking vacation.
Surveyor’s Ridge in Oregon,
California’s Mount Tamalpais,
and the Methow Trail System in
Washington are three of the
best trails the region has to
offer.
Don’t think that all of the
best mountain biking vacations
happen in the west; the east
has its share of great trails
as well, many of them in the
Appalachian region. The Tsali
trail in North Carolina is
known for its difficulty, but
much of it is perfect for
novices. The Bee Log Ride,
which reaches from North
Carolina to Tennessee, is
another beautiful trail that
mountain biking enthusiasts
are advised to check out.
Mountain Biking vacations are
perfect for athletic people
who want to explore different
regions at their own pace.
They are much less expensive
than many other trips, and can
be the adventure of a
lifetime. Mountain
