The Tour of Utah breaks new ground for Black
Bear Adventures, not only is it our first tour
in Utah but it employs a model until now has
been reserved for private groups. We will have
both a private chef as well as a staff
masseuse to pamper you unlike any other public
tour we offer.
Join us and embark on a journey that
highlights America’s toughest stage race, The
Tour of Utah. On this grand voyage, you will
climb and descend throughout the breath taking
Uinta Mountains.
This tour is based in centrally located Park
City, Utah, which is known for the best snow
on earth in the winter and the most delightful
weather in the summer. Cool nights and warm
days bring ideal cycling conditions that
contribute to epic days in the saddle. As for
the riding itself, words will not do it
justice. Rolling through Robert Redford’s
Sundance at the base of Mount Timpanogos is an
experience like no other. Each stage of the
tour of Utah is challenging, unique and
strikingly beautiful. We ride like and are treated
like a pro all the while enjoying the luxury
of this world class destination.
