    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 Crested Butte, please visit Colorado’s Department of Public Health and Environment website.

    Please contact us if you have any questions or require further information. We are happy to provide you with the most up-to-date information!

  • For these multi-day guided tours, you’ll need to be able to bike up to 15 to 35 miles per day with additional mileage options available for advanced riders. Crested Butte’s technical terrain, complete with loose, steep single tracks is one of its strongest selling points. That said, even the most experienced among the group can count on it to push their limits. While there are plenty of other trails suitable for beginners, this option is designed for bikers with moderate experience. If you wish to have a tour more suitable for beginners, contact us to make arrangements.

  • These tours are more appropriate for intermediate to advanced bikers. However, if you wish to have a tour suitable for beginners, contact us to make arrangements. A guide will explain the different mountain bike techniques and body positions to get you feeling comfortable on the trial. 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!

    • Wear comfortable riding or athletic clothing, preferably moisture-wicking or synthetic material
    • Sneakers or sport shoes
    • Breathable outside layer or jacket
    • Sunglasses and clear or low-light riding glasses
    • Bathing suit
    • Cheap PVC rain gear

  • One of the reasons why mountain biking is so popular is the rush of adrenaline it sends through your veins. Sure, danger is part of the appeal, but you’ll want to avoid any unnecessary risks by hiring a guide. They’ll make sure you enjoy the ride and feel safe while doing it. There is no road map or GPS technology out there that’s as good as having an experienced local guide to lead the way while mastering unfamiliar trails. There’s always more to see, and your guides know just where to go to find it!

  • With us, it’s all play and no work for you! 57hours is an open platform that connects you with trained and certified outdoor adventure professionals all over the world. Using our tech-savvy, we make it super easy to find and book adventures worth tackling, with guides worth booking, all gathered from the first-hand experiences of the locals who adventure in these amazing locations.

  • For this adventure, the usual client to guide ratio is 6:1. You will be joining a party from up to 12 guests and 2 guides, although many trips are smaller than the maximum allowed. All pricing is per person.

    Custom mountain biking in Crested Butte can be arranged as well. Contact us to make arrangements.

    • Anyone over the age of 18 is welcome to book this course.
    • If your party has minors younger than 18 years old, contact us prior to booking to make arrangements.
  • Tours are scheduled to fit with the seasons and ideal cycling conditions. When the weather does not cooperate, your guide will know the correct course of action to take. Whether that’s shifting to a more favorable location or postponing until conditions approve, your guide will know just what to do. In the event of predictably bad weather, you will be contacted prior to the trip to discuss suitable alternatives.

  • We highly recommended that you cover all your bases with both emergency medical and travel insurance. With medical insurance, if you have an accident or medical emergency on or off the mountain, you’ll avoid paying out of pocket for costly expenses. This covers everything from hospital treatments to emergency air transportation and more.

    As we’ve recently seen, travel plans can be abruptly halted, so it’s a good idea to purchase travel insurance that covers cancelled flights, natural disasters and other scenarios that may interrupt your travel plans. For peace of mind, we suggest you consider both options of insurance.

    If you need assistance selecting the right insurance for your group, let us know and we will be happy to help!
