This was the fourth year that I boarded a plane in route to Las Vegas for Interbike (international bike tradeshow). The conventional way of traveling to Interbike for me is to board the plane at Boston’s Logan Airport and disembark in “Sin City” Las Vegas, Nevada.
This year was different. I did leave from Boston but I landed in Denver, Colorado, then traveled out to Vail to link up with a good friend of mine. He had planned a little journey for us; well over a thousand driving miles, 2 State Parks, 5 National Parks and countless miles of hiking all in 4 days. One of the days we hiked over 11 miles in under 6 hours, a little less then half of those miles where done in a river. The remainder was a 1400’ vertical hike with steep zig-zags though the mountain.

The River
The SummitI could go on and on about the incredible sights we saw but I will give it to you simple.
Arched National Park
Capitol Reef National Park
Goblin Valley State Park
Bryce Canyon National Park
Zion National Park
And finally, Red Rocks
This was by far the best Interbike I ever experienced. We already started talking about next year's trip and the route we are going to take.
