We want to make sure you're on the trip that's right for you. Every Backroads trip is unique and this one is no exception.
The Lake District's beautiful yet rugged topography limits the number of available roads. Although we've carefully crafted this itinerary to feature a mix of the region's most scenic paved and dirt road-biking routes, at times we encounter small trafficked areas, as well as a few sections of dirt roads with loose rocks and sand. Of course, you're always welcome to jump in the shuttle to avoid the busier or rougher sections of the route. Our hikes through Patagonia's captivating terrain follow rocky and sometimes very dusty and uneven paths, many of which are remote and do not intersect with roads. Vehicles will get us to and from the trailheads, but the nature of these trails is such that we won't see our vans along the route. Ample trail support in the form of water, snacks, and encouragement is provided by your Backroads leaders and local guides.
Trips with a small number of guests may be supported by one Backroads Trip Leader and team of knowledgeable local guides. There will always be at least two people hiking on the trail with you.
