Valley of Fire – Try Tranquil & Inspiring Strains

There’s an equal amount of climbs and descents, with a landscape that can allow the imagination to unfold.

It’ll keep you happy while invoking a bit of creativity, so as you cycle, your mind drifts freely with the landscape and suddenly you feel as if you’re on Mars. Because it’s a hybrid, you’ll also feel relaxed throughout the body, so tension is released in the muscles before you start peddling.

Zion National Park – Try Energetic, Mood-Enhancing Strains

If you’re willing to travel a bit north of Las Vegas and venture slightly into Utah, there’s a lot more greenery to behold in Zion National Park - though it’s all still pretty much bushes. The rock formations are grander than in the Valley of Fire; valleys are much deeper, meaning climbs and descents are far more inclined. You’re going to need a lot of courage and energy to go cycling here.

Double Diesel

A strain that will pair well with cycling Zion National Park. Not only will it give you a nice kick of energy to complete all those long inclines, it will keep your head happy so you’ll enjoy the adrenaline rush of leisurely speeding down hills and flying around the bends of the road. It will also bring on some imaginative thoughts, so you might feel as if you’re traveling through lands in Lord of the Rings.

Space Candy – You’ll stay focused on your goal in completing your route, stay energized, and enjoy the sensations of being outdoors.

UK Cheese – Allow this hybrid’s magic to spread throughout the body with a light tingling sensation, easing the muscles of tension, so cycling feels more natural. Energy will rise as stress falls and enjoying the great outdoors will improve your mood.
