TOUR DESCRIPTION
Receive Full Itinerary
The final 74 miles of the Colorado Trail are arguably the finest of the entire trail length from Denver and certainly one of the premiere backcountry singletracks in our entire country. You’ll tackle this route in 4 days and camp 3 nights under the Rocky Mountain skies. Riders will be treated to an alpine wonderland of wildflowers and rugged mountain peaks during the summer months of July and August. (pssst: our wildflower peak is usually 3rd week of July through first week of August!) This self-guided mountain bike tour is challenging. Along the 74 miles you’ll climb close to 10,000 total feet and many times face a variety of weather changes. That said, everyone who finishes our Colorado Trail mountain bike tour walks away with a sense of accomplishment that can be hard to find in this modern world! We created this Colorado Trail mountain bike tour for those who don’t want a guide, don’t want to be supported during the week and generally just want their own self-serve adventure with a bit of logistical assistance. Each day we relocate a very deluxe camp setup (provided by Ready Camp) of (2) 10×10 canopies, full kitchen, dry firewood, camp chairs, fresh water, coolers of food and beverages (you purchase prior to trip) and all your personal gear like tents, bags and clothing. You can go as cheap or deluxe as you want on food, beverages and amenities!!
