This was our seventh Western Spirit trip, and the first that wasn’t a singletrack trip. I prefer singletrack, but my husband wanted a trip where he could ride his e-bike and I ride my mountain bike. The guides and the hikes were fantastic, but what really made this trip was the luxury of a single campsite. For once it felt like a vacation and I could enjoy camp & the environment around the site. - Pat
A great trip! Our guides, Will and Chris, were super attentive and mindful of our safety. We were an older group and they took great care of us. Food was great. Loved staying in the same campsite each night after a hard day cycling and hiking. - Cynthia
Thanks so much to Shane and KC on a wonderful trip down to Bears Ears South. The guides were all amazing, food was delicious, the rides/hikes were great and my girls definitely would like to do another trip with Western Spirits. - Adam
