Ride Through Giant Redwoods or Around Crater Lake

 

BERKELEY, CA (FEBRUARY 2008) - Backroads explores the world, uncovering scenic biking and hiking routes, off-the-beaten-path culturally rich towns and acclaimed regional cuisine. Since launching its first bike trip in Death Valley National Park in 1979, Backroads has emerged as the world's #1 active travel company.

 

This year, Backroads will expand its North American departures to include three renowned destinations: California's Redwood Empire, Oregon's Crater Lake and Mississippi's Natchez Trace.
