Where will this summer take you? Perhaps biking along the famed “Avenue of the Giants,” where massive redwoods rise all around you as you make your way south towards San Francisco and the Golden Gate Bridge. Enjoy the fifth edition of our series highlighting this summer’s teen adventure trips: Pacific Coast!
This program is perfect for:
- Students interested in experiencing both spectacular west-coast beaches and awe-inspiring redwood forests;
- Students who have never tried cycle touring before but are interested in an intermediate-level cycling trip;
- Students excited about feeling the incredible accomplishment of biking over the Golden Gate Bridge after riding 600 miles over the course of three weeks;
- Alumni who loved our Vermont to Montreal or Cape Cod & the Islands programs and are looking for the next step;
- Alumni of Apogee hiking programs who love the Apogee community and traditions and are looking to try a biking program.
Fast, Fun Facts about PC:
- Surf’s up – hang ten!: Have you really visited California if you don’t go surfing? Midway through the trip, you’ll spend a morning with professional instructors learning how to catch a wave!
- No shortage of coastal views: You’ll spend large sections of the trip cycling right along the coast, offering plenty of jaw-dropping views without having to leave the saddle of your bicycle!
- No bike, no problem!: Whether you don’t have a bicycle suitable for touring or you simply don’t want to deal with the logistics of shipping a bike out west, we work with a bike shop in Eugene, Oregon to offer high-quality rental bikes for use on the trip.
- Small towns and the big city: You’ll pass through and explore numerous charming, small towns as you make your way south along the coast before finishing your adventure and celebrating in the cultural hub of San Francisco!
