Trip: Bears Ears South

Guide: Claire B., Chris K.

Claire and Chris were the best! Kept us fueled for all the rides and hikes and were very knowledgeable about the areas. They kept us on course even though we had riders of different abilities. The weather was perfect and when the sun went down chris broke out his star chart to identify all we were seeing. It was the trip of a lifetime! I will be back.

Trip: White Rim

Guide: Claire B., Ben F.

Claire and Ben were truly fantastic guides. They were a dynamic duo that were incredibly accommodating to the guests and they were fun to be around. I would definitely request either of them for a future trip! Thanks again the white rim trail was super memorable!!

Trip: Fruita Singletrack

Guide: Anna R., Ben L.

The trip ended early due to an injury to my IT band. Anna and Ben were very friendly and helpful. My only advice would be to take a couple of rest stops during the ride. It seemed like we got a late start due to rain on Monday and then were pushing hard to complete the ride after lunch. Once the people riding in the rear caught up to the front group that was stopped it was a then time to move on. People in the rear did not get much of a break.

Trip: Gooseberry Mesa Singletrack

Guide: Franklin S., Matt G.

Matt was excellent at knowing the trails and trips, Frank was great at adding “color” with his knowledge of the geology and the area. They are both great cooks also! Another great trip.

Trip: Maze 5 Day

Guide: Britney C., Lucas E.

Great trip even if a bit more technical than I was expecting. The guides were super and figured an alternative when we could not get to the start in good time. Good food, great scenery and a good group.

Trip: Custom Trip

Guide: Will C., Colton W.

We just completed the Kokopelli Trail on our gravel bikes with Colton, Will and Anna. They were very pleasant, patient, knowledgeable of the route and brought passion and “spirit” daily. Meals were amazing as well. This is our second trip with Western Spirit and I would highly recommend Western Spirit for your next bike adventure.

This trip was great! A good mix of riding and hiking to Ancestral Puebloan structures. The guides showed excellent overall leadership and were great hosts.

Trip: Maze 5 Day

Guide: Britney C., Lucas E.

My husband and I had never been on a guided mountain bike tour until Western Spirit's 5 day Maze trip in the Canyonlands. We felt pampered, we had fun and the trip was both challenging and spectacular. We were impressed with how the guides prepared us for each day's technical ride segments to keep us safe. The hygiene practices in the cooking area and readily available hand washing stations were greatly appreciated. The menus were delicious and eclectic while special dietary restrictions were handled with ease. Our group dynamics melded quickly into a family. Lastly, thanks for continuous LNT education.
