West Coast Multi-Sport Adventure

Cycling along the Pacific Ocean

Begin your trip along the spectacular coast of Oregon, cycling to Florence to explore the famous Sea Lion Caves. Proud of its commitment to the environment, the Eugene, Oregon bike paths straddling the Willamette River offer an unspoiled backdrop for cycling and give you a chance to visit the University of Oregon campus. Next your group will cycle to Sunset Bay State Park to catch some crabs and enjoy a delicious barbeque dinner on the beach under a magnificent sunset. Returning to the Pacific Coast, experience the thrill of dune jumping (the pictures will really impress your friends at home!) and an exciting jet boat ride on the beautiful Rogue River.


30 DAYS

BIKING, DUNE JUMPING, JET BOAT, HIKING, RAFTING

The Pacific Northwest is unmatched for its natural beauty! The West Coast Multi-Sport trip is packed with adventure and stunning cycling on the coastline. Biking along the Pacific Ocean is absolutely gorgeous!

California Redwoods and San Francisco

After crossing the California border, your group will cycle through enormous Redwood trees and hike to the location used to film Star Wars! You will then head out to the Klamath River which you can experience on big rafts or inflatable kayaks followed by hiking and swimming in the riverside waterfalls. Your West Coast Adventure will be topped off by two days in San Francisco following the once in a lifetime thrill of CYCLING across the infamous Golden Gate Bridge. You'll marvel at the beauty and grace of the Golden Gate Bridge and ride the cable cars. Your group will walk up steep, steep Lombard Street (wellÉ maybe you'll walk down Lombard Street!), shop and eat (delicious chocolate bars from Ghirardelli, Chinatown's restaurants, and great Mexican munchies). You'll shop at the open air markets at Fisherman's Wharf, and take a ferry to the former island prison of Alcatraz.
