“My favorite types of vacation are my Backroads Adventure vacations. Getting out in the fresh air and biking through the Canadian Rockies or the Canyon Lands is such a wonderful change from sitting in the office. I love feeling the wind on my face as I bike past the enormous mountains and glaciers. I really enjoy being able to experience these locations in depth. For me, this adventure travel so much more unique than seeing them on a bus tour.”
