Round Valley Roundabout

If you’re tackling the moderately hilly 28.6-mile circuit tour of the Round Valley Roundabout during a hot summer day, it can be reassuring to know that the clear blue water of the Round Valley Reservoir is almost always in view. The Roundabout circumnavigates the Round Valley Reservoir and some of its outlying areas.

Along the way you’ll traverse meandering country roads and pass through several rustic hamlets and villages. Look above you on any fair weather weekend, spring through fall, and you and your companions are likely to be outnumbered by colorful hot-air balloons hovering silently overhead.

The many rural back roads in the area offer wonderful opportunities for side trips for extended touring. Check out some of these interesting stopovers along the way to grab a bite to eat or rest.
