The Whiterock Canyons Road Tour is a vehicle supported, lodge-to-lodge, road cycling tour that reveals the stunning canyon-country of south-central Utah. By day, cyclists pedal within mazes of earthen wonder beneath towering sandstone cliffs and by night, relax in unique Inns while savoring delicious dining.

This remote region is so spectacular that cyclists are within a State or National Park virtually the entire tour. Highlights include Glen Canyon-Lake Powell National Recreation Area, Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, Escalante State Park, Kodachrome State Park, Anasazi State Park, Bryce Canyon National Park, and Capital Reef National Park.

Although the Whiterocks Canyon Tour is in Utah and close regionally to Lizard Head Cycling's acclaimed Redrocks Tour, it has an entirely different flavor as it passes through tiny & remote Mormon towns, even wilder geology and enjoys two days that include not to be missed desert hikes (Calf Creek Falls and Bryce Canyon National Park).

Why Ride this Tour?

An exceptional route through a region of world-class beauty, the Whiterock Canyons tour follows rarely used roads that deliver cyclists to unforgettable lodges within our National Parks and Monuments. Lizard Head Cycling Guides created this itinerary to go along with its celebrated Redrock Canyons tour. Let's Ride…!

Who Can Ride this Tour?

Both cyclists new to multi-day tours and advanced riders who pedal over 3,000 miles annually have enjoyed the Whiterocks Tour.

Ride Difficulty?
The Whiterocks Tour is designed for intermediate to advanced cyclists. The tour has less mileage and more climbing then Lizard Head Cycling's much loved Redrock Canyons Tour. Although it is considered easier then then the Redrock Canyons Tour, the additional mileage options available on the Whiterocks Tour make it a real challenge to pedal every mile.
