Best National Park Bike Tours & Multi-Sport Adventures with Western Spirit

From the Red Rocks of Utah to the Giant Redwoods: Experience America’s Most Iconic Landscapes Beyond the Windshield

There is a profound difference between seeing a National Park through a windshield and feeling the grit of its history beneath your tires. For over three decades, Western Spirit has specialized in transforming these legendary landscapes into immersive, multi-day journeys. Whether you’re seeking the deep silence of the North Rim of the Grand Canyon or the misty, fern-draped cathedrals of our Redwoods Adventure Trip, our journeys are designed to move at the speed of nature. By bypassing the crowded overlooks, we help you find the quiet, hidden soul of America’s most protected spaces through our guided Western Spirit Mountain Bike Tours and Western Spirit Adventure Tours.

Exploring the Utah Desert: Canyonlands, Bryce and Zion, Capitol Reef In the heart of the Utah desert, our trips explore the dramatic red-rock landscape that defines the Southwest. You can test your mountain biking mettle on the legendary White Rim or the remote, rugged terrain of The Maze in Canyonlands National Park. For those who crave the hoodoos and ancient lava flows of the high plateaus, our Bryce and Zion Bike Trip offers a masterclass in red- rock scenery. Venture into a rugged, prehistoric landscape defined by jagged geological “reefs,” hidden slot canyons, and vast desert silence on our San Rafael Swell bike trip. Finally, our Grand Staircase Escalante Bike Trip and our multi-dimensional Grand Staircase Escalante Adventure Trip provide a deep dive into the labyrinthine canyons of Capitol Reef.

The Grand Canyon: North Rim vs. South Rim Adventures The Grand Canyon remains the ultimate frontier for many riders, and we offer three distinct ways to experience its majesty. Our South Rim of the Grand Canyon Bike Trip provides unparalleled views of the world’s most famous chasm. For those who want to mix their miles with other pursuits, the South Rim of the Grand Canyon Adventure Trip blends world-class cycling with hiking and a Grand Canyon Mule ride to explore the rim’s unique ecosystem. Across the canyon, our North Rim of the Grand Canyon Bike Trip offers a cooler, high-alpine forest experience that feels worlds away from the desert floor below, making it one of the premier Arizona mountain biking destinations. Alpine Grandeur: Grand Teton National Park Moving north into the jagged spires of the Rockies, the skyline of Grand Teton National Park serves as the ultimate backdrop for adventure. Our Grand Teton & Island Park Bike Trip is a favorite for those seeking relaxed high-country biking, vast mountain vistas, and wildlife sightings. Meanwhile, the Grand Teton Adventure Trip scales back the mileage to make room for the multi-sport lifestyle, allowing you to immerse yourself in the rivers, lakes and trails that make the Grand Tetons a global destination. Multiple river floats, fly-fishing, hiking, and biking are all included in this exciting itinerary. These trips aren’t just about the ride; they’re about experiencing the scale of the Tetons from every possible angle. Wilderness Safaris: Yellowstone and the Gravelly Range For a true wilderness safari, Yellowstone National Park offers a landscape unlike any other on Earth. Our Yellowstone & Gravelly Range Bike Trip takes you through wide-open Big Sky country where bison and geysers are part of the daily commute.

If you’re looking for a well- rounded exploration of the park’s thermal wonders and wildlife, the Yellowstone Adventure Trip provides a curated experience that balances activities including hiking, biking, floating and fly- fishing with deep discovery. These trips are a rare chance to see the world’s first National Park without the constraints of a tour bus, focusing instead on gravel grinding, outdoor activities and scenic exploration. The Redwood Coast: Giants, Ferns, and Wild Rivers For a complete change of pace, our Redwoods Adventure Trip takes you into the most productive and diverse forest in the world. This isn’t just a bike trip; it’s a multi-sport immersion into Redwood National Park. You’ll hike through the Lady Bird Johnson Grove, bike the dramatic bluffs above the Pacific on the Coastal Trail, and explore the tunnel of green in the world-famous Fern Canyon. One of the true highlights is a float on the Smith River, the only major river system in California that remains undammed. Drifting through Stout Grove in crystal-clear water offers a perspective of these 300-foot giants that few ever experience, making this the ultimate California adventure tour. The Western Spirit Difference: Logistics and Stewardship At Western Spirit, we believe that the best way to honor these parks is to leave them exactly as we found them, which is why we operate on a “Leave No Trace” philosophy. From handling complex permitting to serving up gourmet Dutch-oven meals at a picturesque basecamp, we take
care of all the logistics so you can focus on the memories. Whether you’re chasing the sunset in Canyonlands or navigating the ancient giants of our Redwoods Adventure Trip, you aren’t just visiting a National Park—you’re becoming part of its story.
