Danish bicycle traveler, Dennis Koomen, created a beautiful twenty-three minute video about his cycle touring exploits in the American Southwest. In the video, Dennis and his female companion travel from Las Vegas, Nevada and make a circle around the Grand Canyon, Bryce Canyon, Monument Valley and a number of other famous Nevada, Arizona and Utah desert landmarks. Watch the full video above and enjoy!
Is there a better time of the year to do such a tour?
I would suggest a tour in this part of the world in either the spring or fall. Winter is extremely cold (with chances of ice and snow) and summers can be extremely hot (with temperatures in excess of 100 degrees F). Spring and fall would be the most comfortable time of year in this part of the world, but the weather (even during these times of year) can be rainy, with thunderstorms, lightning, etc. If I were to do a similar route myself, I would do it in early fall.
