Railbike Tours

The Carson Canyon Railbike Tour is a railbike experience that gives people of all ages the opportunity to see the beauty of the Carson River Canyon in a whole new way. The railbikes are safe, easy-to-pedal and a whole lot of fun. The “pedal assist” motors help you travel along the railway without breaking a sweat. Did we mention it’s a socially distant excursion? Gather a group of your closest friends and family members and we’ll see you on the railway.

  • The descent: Riders begin a smooth ride down the Canyon, lightly pedaling together. A brake allows them to glide smoothly along the tracks, following a guide bike.
  • Intermission-Destination: Upon reaching the canyon floor, riders step out of the rail bike to stretch and enjoy a free water/snack provided by V&T, enjoy the views, and take pictures. During this break, other team members will turn around the rail bike with a turntable in order to prepare for the return trip up the canyon.
  • Trip up the Canyon: Riders can activate the “pedal assist” motors to help with the return trip up the canyon to the depot. Along the way, riders can take pictures from various vantage points, enjoying the Canyon’s grandeur. Once riders arrive at the depot, they may purchase memorabilia at our gift shop. Bikes are sanitized for next ride.
