The trip is a great experience in the desert southwest. The terrain is rugged but beautiful. Lots of history mixed with artistry out in the wild. Tucson is a great city to bike around.
Arizona: Saguaro National Park & the Sonoran Desert
We loved every minute of this tour thru the desert. Trip was well organized, the leaders (Jim and Kat) were knowledgeable about local history, geography, restaurants, culture...you name it. This was a great way to see the desert, had wonderful accommodations and food, trip lengths varied so that you could "pick your poison"...I can't say enough about how much fun my wife and I had on this trip. Totally exceeded our expectations for what this trip would be. We've signed up for another VBT trip next year and might do another one as well in the spring.
