The views in the canyon were amazing. It was an easy bike ride and fun way to see another part of palm dessert. Our guide Billy was great! He was very fun and shared a lot of interesting facts about the area. I would highly recommend for all ages.

18.9 mile cycle ride in 100F

Very relaxing, easy going ride that allowed you to free wheel most of the time & very little effort the rest of the time. Steve was very knowledgeable, interesting & friendly. We are late fifties & non athletic & it was no problem for us apart from the heat being that it was the end of June 2018. Only disappointing aspect was that it wasn't a 4 hour hour bike ride as it takes 45 minutes to get to & from the drop off point & half an hour in rest stops so it actually was more like an hour & half to 2 hour ride dependent on your speed. Would definitely recommend though.
