Why Travel With Us
The science is clear: three-days in the backcountry is the threshold for true mental presence. We stay out there long enough for the digital noise to stop and the real connection to begin. Western Spirit is built to get you out there—beyond the reach of the weekend crowd—because we know that true mental and physical reset requires deep immersion. We handle the complex logistics of multi-day backcountry trips so those who really want to go can experience the profound clarity that only the real backcountry provides. A trip with us isn’t just a ride; it’s a professionally guided journey designed to recharge your soul in the most spectacular, remote landscapes in the West.
Location Is Everything
We leverage 36 years of exclusive permit access to get you out there—really out there—into the silent, real backcountry of the West that crowds never see. We handle the complex logistics of remote expeditions so you can disconnect from the noise and find presence in the wild.
Your Kind Of Riding
Whether you crave technical singletrack or prefer exploring the West’s iconic National Parks via remote backcountry roads, we have an itinerary for your style. Our expert-led expeditions provide the exclusive access and support you need to ride the terrain you love, at the pace you choose.
Our Guides Can Really Cook
Yummy appetizers, Dutch oven dinners, and fresh salads prepared with healthy ingredients. And you have definitely earned dessert!
Connect With Friends
Spending time in the out of door allows you to re-connect. Share experiences with old friends and make some new ones. A Western Spirit bike trip gives you the chance to disconnect from the day to day stress and truly relax.
Cozy Camping
After a day of exploration in the fresh mountain air, your cozy tent will await you. The right gear makes camping an absolute joy.
Beyond the Bike
Our Adventure Trips extend beyond the saddle, offering the freedom to explore ancient old-growth forests on foot, hike to hidden canyon overlooks, and raft thrilling rapids. These off-bike adventures are an essential part of Western Spirits offerings, allowing you to slow down and experience the backcountry from a completely different perspective.
Tools & Expertise
Let our guides help you keep your bike running smoothly. It goes without saying that we love bikes. We have the tools and the training to keep your bike running smoothly so you can just enjoy the trail.
Hot Springs and Rivers
Take a dip in mountain fresh water. Wait till you experience the rejuvenating feeling of taking a mid-summer swim in a clear flowing river. Nothing tops a bike ride better than a cold beer after a refreshing swim.
Campfire Conversations
Relax after a day well spent on your bike. The feeling of sitting next to the campfire with friends is awesome. We laugh, joke, and are always ready to put another log on the fire.
The Ultimate Night Sky
Start a relationship with the Milky Way. The views don’t stop when the sun goes down. We like to stay up to watch the constellations rise.
