days of your trip.
Day 1 - Check-in is anytime after 4 pm. Join trip leaders and fellow travelers for a meet-and-greet dinner at 6 pm on the Sultan Sun Deck overlooking Jordanelle Reservoir. Guides will go over the itinerary, answer questions, and talk about safety at high altitude.
Day 2 - The Alpine Fitness Retreat kicks off with our longest and most challenging bike tour. Ride the scenic Mirror Lake Highway, gateway to the Uinta National Forest.
This afternoon is your time to do with as you wish. Take a nap, go for a short hike, or enjoy a relaxing massage in your room or the Marc Raymond Salon. Dinner tonight is at the four-star rated Goldener Hirsch Restaurant.
Day 3 - Mt. Timpanogos is the EPIC local peak to hike! An early morning drive through Provo Canyon and over the Alpine Loop – site of the 2009 Tour of Utah pro circuit bike race – takes us to the Timpooneke Trailhead. Local hiking legend Ben Woolsey guides ambitious hikers to the summit the 11,749 ft peak, the second tallest peak in the Wasatch Range.
Celebrate hiking the second tallest peak in the Wasatch Range over dinner at Robert Redford’s #1 rated Sundance Resort.
Day 4 - Warm up your mountain legs with a hike through the Wasatch-Cache range and the Deer Valley Resort. Prepare to top-out at any one of the resort’s spectacular viewpoints before returning to the bottom.
Cyclists have their pick between challenging mountain single track through Park City Resort or the “Rail Trail,” a favorite among locals and vacationers alike for its scenic and easy riding in an old railroad bed. Those who’ve had enough exercise for the day can spend the afternoon fly-fishing, hot-air ballooning, or shopping the art galleries in Park City. Dinner tonight is on your own. Enjoy a quiet evening in the Hirsch or a rowdy night on the town in Park City – it’s up to you!
