2026 Summit County Travel Guide: must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transport & travel experiences (updated in August)

At 60+, I was quite nervous about participating due to my age, fitness level, and the heat! However, the guides quickly put my worries to rest, ensuring I stayed hydrated and comfortable. Before I knew it, I was zooming down the hills just like when I was a kid, riding my bike all day long!

We had an outstanding experience with Escape Adventures on a Red Rock Canyon hiking trip organized for our group of 16 during a corporate outing. The guides were top-notch, everything ran on schedule, and they even adjusted the timing to 7 am-11 am to accommodate us. We’ll absolutely book with them again and highly recommend their service.

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed this tour. The weather was perfect, and the entire ride offered breathtaking scenery. Javier was an excellent and well-informed guide who truly looked after us. As experienced e-bike users, we found the bikes to be of outstanding quality! The pickup and drop-off service was a great convenience. We absolutely loved it!

Javier was cheerful and energetic, making the trip enjoyable for everyone. He assisted our 9-year-old with handling a larger bike than he was used to, including guidance on gear changes and using the e-bike assist. The route was stunning, complemented by great weather. The bikes were comfortable and well-maintained. Additionally, the van we used for transport was in excellent condition and very comfortable. Javier mentioned not many kids try the loop, but they can—and they'll love it, so go for it!

A fantastic option for mountain biking enthusiasts visiting Las Vegas. I got to ride a high-quality Specialized Stumpjumper along some beautiful trails. My guide, April, was excellent, and we covered roughly 14 miles of dust, gravel, and rocky terrain. Highly recommend this experience as a unique alternative to the typical Vegas attractions.

Excellent outing. The guide was very supportive and ensured the day was enjoyable. It was my first experience with mountain biking. Whenever a section seemed too tough, I simply took it slow or walked alongside the bike. As the day progressed, my confidence grew. It turned out to be more demanding than I had expected. Be prepared for some cardio! Don’t forget to wear gloves.

My 10-year-old son and I went on a guided tour with Escape Adventures, and it was fantastic. Getting him on an e-MTB was an absolute game changer, especially for a young rider dealing with the heat and altitude. Our guide was incredible, and the trails were enjoyable and accessible for almost anyone. Of course, I'm sure they'd cater to more challenging trails if that's your preference. Being picked up and dropped off at the Treasure Island bus stop (note: TI casino offers free parking if you have a rental car) made the logistics super easy.

It was fantastic! April, our guide, was incredibly knowledgeable. My husband planned the trip, and I just showed up. I mistakenly assumed the trail would be smooth and easy, so I didn’t bring or wear my hiking boots. With the uneven, rocky terrain and occasional loose stones, I strongly recommend wearing sturdy shoes, preferably hiking boots. It would also be helpful if the outfitters could provide walking sticks, as they’d be useful for things like crossing the creek. That said, it was wonderful to escape the Strip, enjoy nature, and unplug for a few hours.

Loved the hike with its stunning scenery. Javier, our guide, was very experienced and knowledgeable. The hike was enjoyable, with the challenge tailored to the group's abilities. Javier did a great job pacing and ensuring everyone's safety. Incredible hike with breathtaking views!

We booked the Discover ticket through the BigBus website. The tour itself is enjoyable, offering views of all the sights along with commentary and interesting facts without the need to walk or use the metro. It also gives the opportunity to see places you might not visit. The first bus we boarded was excellent, but the second one was dirty, old, and had a strong diesel odor since there were no outside seats available. I used the app for ticket convenience and route viewing, but the app's route differed from the actual route, and again, the stops varied from those on the paper map provided on the bus. I had planned our stops according to what my daughter wanted to see, having later plans, but we had to adjust to the different route, which was a bit frustrating.

What a fantastic way to enjoy a portion of your day in Vegas! The experience was seamless right from pickup, with a well-informed tour guide (April was exceptional and ensured we saw some wildlife during our journey!) & numerous picturesque vistas. The hike provided the ideal level of challenge (not overly difficult yet not too simple) for our group.

I felt a bit anxious about this ride, not having traversed this kind of terrain before. Upon reaching the meeting spot, our guide's enthusiasm and friendliness were contagious, boosting our excitement for the ride even more. The trails were fantastic, featuring some easy single-track sections and technical parts to test our skills. The ride was wonderful, offering a perfect duration and level of challenge. I highly endorse Escape Adventures for your biking adventure. The cost was just right for what was provided.

We had a fantastic time. However, I wish the hotel concierge had more insight into what the hike involved. Next time, I’ll ensure to learn the actual name of the company organizing the hike or activity so I can contact them directly. I’d recommend wearing hiking shoes or boots—either would have sufficed. I would definitely go again.

Have you ever been in the midst of a city full of people and you wanted to escape somewhere in the quiet ? I was caught up like that in the city of salt lake and just a drive of 1hr took me away from the noise and put in the middle of a beautiful forest. The beautiful nature evoked the inner child in me, I gazed at the Milky Way while I goto sleep, jumped out of my sleep at the rise of the sun, smell the meadow flowers. What an experience. If you ever come to Utah, please take a day out to camp at one of the spots, I went camping , and the pictures were taken at the broad-head meadows. #mytripvlog #campingglamping #utah #summervacation 1.
