Gorgeous scenery, challenging terrain, excellent food and really sharp, fun and friendly guides. - Michelle
My second perfect trip with WS- and this time I brought my husband to show him. Superb biking, great mysteries of the Ancestral Puebloans, great camaraderie and food. And yes the guides- Frank, Avery and Katie. They had an eye for safety, and did everything for us including preparing all the great food. But at heart it was their enthusiasm, inquisitiveness, and devotion to the west/the outdoors. - it energized my entire 5 days. Thanks so much!! - Richard
This was my first Western Spirit trip and it won’t be my last. Our guides Avery and Frank were great. The food was excellent and the support was fantastic. The area was really unique and there were not a lot of other people around, making the biking really special. - Thomas
