Salt Lake City is my hometown.

Gay Salt Lake City Bike Tour

I grew up here, I grew up Mormon. They are nice folk, they keep their city pristine, and have a love for nature that is unrivaled by most other communities. I have a special love for this cosmopolitan city and its wacky counterculture. Learn local Mormon folklore. Explore several city canyons and creeks above Salt Lake City while riding a fast, efficient road bike.

Uncover the fascinating history of this charming capital city, nestled at the base of the gorgeous Wasatch Mountains. Follow the Jordan River Parkway, a club trail through woods and wetlands with parks, bridges, and gardens along the way. Soak and snorkel in The Crater, a geothermal hot spring inside a rock dome, near Park City.

A gay Salt Lake City bike tour? Two words: Mormon Missionaries. Ever had a set of them on your front porch? Cute right? But where do these strapping young boys come from? HE Travel is sending a group of gay folks to Utah to see why. Opposition to the strict Mormon lifestyle has salt rise to one of the most fascinating counter-culture communities in America.

Salt Lake City has a vibrant gay community, a wild nightlife, and a slew of local breweries producing delicious, and uniquely named, beer Polygamy Porter-Why Have Just One? Each day of riding will feature a different viewpoint of the Salt Lake Valley. Our trip begins with an orientation at our hotel before walking to a downtown restaurant for our welcome dinner.

Even at this time of year, the mountains may still have snow on their highest peaks. Salt Lake City has a large, fun, and friendly gay population, and we know where to go! The trail parallels a burbling brook, where happy hikers and their pooches soak their feet in the icy cold creek. The hot summer air lakes dramatically as you ride through the shaded, secluded canyon, and its always fun to meet new riders along this route.

A casual lunch downtown is in order, before taking a walking tour of the city and learning more about the diverse populations gay cycling this a very interesting political, artistic, and social scene. Our long bike ride starts early, but trends gradually downhill, following the Jordan River as it drains the freshwater of Utah Lake northward into the Great Salt Lake.

This beautiful and relaxing ride takes us through woods and wetlands, fields of tall grass and thick Cottonwood groves. Enjoy a morning of pure entertainment as the community comes together and celebrates. We will spend the afternoon enjoying the festival, full of a broad spectrum of activities and entertainment.

NOTE: due to local circumstances, our anticipated date for the Pride events sometimes changes after we announce this tour.
