2026 Tour: Dates and Locations
Longtime Utah climate advocate Bill Barron is cycling 700+ miles through Utah’s national parks to bring people together around a shared goal: protecting the places we love while building the political will for effective climate solutions. Along the route, he’ll host conversations on Citizens’ Climate Lobby’s policy commitments to reduce emissions, remove climate pollution, and protect people—highlighting carbon pricing as a proven, scalable solution and comprehensive permitting reform as a timely opportunity to accelerate progress.
