What’s the experience like?

The morning didn’t start perfectly — I realized halfway to the lobby that I’d forgotten my sunglasses. Back up to the room, then down again, just in time for the hotel pickup. Our guide, Mike (who looked like he’d biked this loop a thousand times), greeted us with a grin and handed out helmets. I was still fumbling with the straps when he started telling us about how Red Rock Canyon is just 30 minutes from the Strip but feels like another planet. He wasn’t kidding — the city noise faded fast, replaced by this weird hush broken only by wind and gravel crunching under our wheels.

I’d never been on an electric bike before, so I was nervous at first. But after a few wobbly starts (and Mike’s patient “You got it!”), it clicked. We cruised up those first hills without breaking much of a sweat. The air smelled dry and kind of sweet — sagebrush maybe? At one stop, Mike pointed out some ancient petroglyphs scratched into the rock. He told us stories about the people who carved them; honestly, I could’ve stood there all day tracing shapes with my eyes while everyone else snapped photos.

The best moment? There was this stretch where the road curved between red cliffs and open sky — I slowed down just to feel it longer. Someone in our group tried to race ahead but ended up laughing when their hat flew off (don’t do that). We took breaks for water and snacks (granola bars taste better outside for some reason), and even though it was only half a day, it felt like we’d been somewhere far away together. On the drive back to Vegas, my legs were tired but in that good way you get after moving all morning. Still thinking about those colors against the sky.
