Beyond the Bike: Western Spirit Unveils 10 New Diverse Backcountry Adventure Trips

Pedals, Paddles, and Peaks: Exploring the New Multi-Sport Lineup

For 36 years, Western Spirit has been the premier architect of immersive backcountry cycling camping trips in the American West. We built our reputation on turning complex logistics into seamless guided cycling adventures and perfecting the art of backcountry immersion. Our mission has always been clear: to provide real backcountry experiences for those who really want to go. We have the permits, the expertise, the hand-picked campsites, and the passionate guides that ensure that when we say we are “built to get you out there,” we mean further, deeper, and with more confidence than anyone else. Today, we are proud to highlight the next evolution of our 36-year legacy: the launch of Western Spirit’s Adventure Trips.

A New Era of Diverse Backcountry Travel

While our heart will always belong to two wheels and the trail, we know that the call of the West is too grand to focus on one activity. We have leveraged our foundational backcountry expertise—the same seamless logistics, the same gourmet trail kitchen, and the same unparalleled permits—to design multi-sport adventure trips that redefine immersive backcountry travel. These new itineraries feature a diverse array of activities that go far beyond the bike, allowing you to engage with iconic Western landscapes on your own terms. We are built to get you out there—hiking hidden canyons, floating remote rivers, testing your limits on an exposed via ferrata, connecting with the profound history of ancestral dwelling sites, and camping among stunning backcountry landscapes. It’s the same Western Spirit soul, with new ways to play.

High-Alpine Thrills and Serene Teton Rivers

Our Adventure Trips are not just a collection of activities; they are curated access to the most unique experiences in each region. Consider the adrenaline-fueled San Juan Adventure Trip. Yes, we will bike and hike on stunning alpine trails, but we will also have the option to scale the exposed cliff faces on the Telluride Via Ferrata, providing an exclusive, professionally guided experience on one of Colorado’s most thrilling routes. For those seeking the quiet rhythm of the mountains, our Grand Teton Adventure Trip features world-class fly fishing. Imagine alternating cruisy double-track rides with multiple days of wading into pristine Wyoming rivers, guided by local experts who know exactly where the cutthroat are rising.

Canyons, Coasts, and Ancient History

Our reach extends from the Colorado High-Country to the Desert Southwest to majestic Pacific Coast. On the Redwood National Park Adventure Trip, you won’t just see the trees; you’ll bike through the Grove of the Titans, a newly accessible and awe-inspiring stand of some of the world’s tallest trees. In Utah, we’ve used our Bears Ears permits to create a profound cultural journey. You will alternate stunning high-desert biking with expert-guided hikes to sacred, well-preserved Ancestral Puebloan dwelling sites, connecting with thousands of years of human history. For the ultimate multi-sport challenge, the Grand Staircase Escalante Adventure Trip adds technical excitement with a day of professional canyoneering in the winding slot canyons of the high desert.
