A few summers back, I arrived in Wall, South Dakota, after another long day in a series of long days on the road. I was in the midst of a five-month road trip that would take me to nearly 20 national parks across nine states throughout the American West. It was one of the year’s final 90-degree days before the first chill of autumn would break summer’s grip on the plains.

Those sites include rugged headlands and top-down views of coastal cities, up-close looks at the geological forces that shaped the region and quiet beaches at the base of towering cliffs.

On a bluebird day in Central Oregon, a laid-back calm washes over the soaking pools at Kah-Nee-Ta Hot Springs Resort. Steam rises from the pools while friends and families chat among themselves.

Blending the adventure of car-free riding with the ease of cruising on wide, well-maintained gravel roads, gravel biking is one of the fastest-growing segments of cycling. Unlike mountain biking, gravel biking doesn’t require tackling technical trails. That makes it accessible to a wider range of cyclists, including those using e-bikes or adaptive equipment. Plus, with its ability to connect endless miles of forest roads, you can tailor rides to match your fitness level and schedule.
