As the site of the first ever mountain bike world championships, Durango can be seen as one of the hometowns of adventure tourism. This quaint former frontier mining town, situated at the foot of the San Juan mountains, prides itself with having some of the best mountain biking in the state. And how could it not? Serving as the access point to the two-million acre San Juan national forest, aspiring adventurers have for decades been drawn to the town for its hundreds of miles of glorious singletrack through colorful and diverse natural terrain. In the mood for a casual cruise in the desert breeze? Ride the flowy loops of the family-friendly Spur Line Trails at Three Springs. Wish to test your quads and feel the mountain greenery? Opt for the panoramic climbs and blood-pumping descents of the Engineer Mountain trail. Durango has something for everyone, and once you visit, you won’t want to leave!
Over 2,000 miles of scenic off-road tracks for riders of all skill levels
Amazing terrain diversity, with tracks sprawling from mountains to deserts
Plenty of advanced high-adrenaline, fast-reaction cliffside rides

We also expect clients to respect local regulations and take measures to protect themselves, guides and the communities they’re travelling to. For more information on COVID-19 measures in Colorado please refer to the Official Colorado Covid 19 Updates website.

What you get on this adventure:
Mountain bike rentals are available for an added fee of $40.00 for the Basic Hardtail model, and $89.00 for the Full Suspension model.

You will need to be able to bike at least two hours, depending on the itinerary you choose. After booking, your guide will determine the group’s skill level and capabilities and cater the day to your specific abilities.

You will progress at a level that is consistent with your comfort. Once you finally get the hang of trail riding, you will only want more!
