Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for this bike tour? Can my 10-year-old join?

A: Yes, there is an age limit for the Earthquake Canyon tour – riders must be at least 12 years old. So unfortunately, your 10-year-old won't be able to join this time. It’s a great tour for older kids and adults, though!

Q: What happens if the weather is bad? Can we reschedule?

A: If the weather doesn't cooperate, Big Wheel Tours will usually let you reschedule for another date. Just give them a call if you think it might be an issue. They’re pretty flexible about it!

Q: How hard is this ride? I'm not an experienced cyclist.

A: The Earthquake Canyon ride is mostly downhill, so it's pretty beginner-friendly! The guides are great at helping everyone keep up, and you'll have plenty of breaks to take in the views. Just wear comfy clothes and enjoy the ride!

Planning to gift the Earthquake Canyon bike tour - any tips?

Hey everyone! I’m thinking about gifting the Earthquake Canyon Express Downhill Bicycle Adventure to my friend's family. I've heard the views are incredible, especially of the Santa Rosa Mountains! Just wanted to know if anyone has done it recently and if it’s good for kids? Also, are there any recommendations on what to wear? Thanks!

Just finished the Earthquake Canyon tour — wow!

I went on the Earthquake Canyon Express tour last week, and it was AMAZING! The views through the badlands were surreal, and the guides were super friendly. They even provided snacks and water which was nice. I’d recommend it to anyone looking for a fun group activity! Just remember to book for at least 2 people. Will definitely do it again!
