Rafting and Biking in Grand Canyon National Park

May 11, 2010.

You may now incorporate a day or two of bicycling at the beginning or end of your Grand Canyon rafting trip. According to a recent Associate Press article, a bicycle rental program has been added at Grand Canyon National Park. The National Park Service issued a commercial use permit to Bright Angel Bicycles LLC for the rental program. Guided tours also will be offered. Park Superintendent Steve Martin says bicycling is a good way for visitors to experience the park’s popular South Rim, which has bicycle-friendly infrastructure. Bicyclists won’t have to contend with private vehicle traffic in some areas.
