An Empowering Backcountry Connection

The White Rim Trail is THE classic Moab mountain bike trip. Part of the beauty of the backcountry is the way it opens minds and hearts to one another, but the nature of Western Spirit’s ladies rides brings these experiences to an even greater level.

What makes our women’s trips so special is the camaraderie. New connections bond us as we pedal, and lifelong friendships are spearheaded as we navigate jaw-dropping landscapes. Each evening at camp, you’ll hear laughter fill the air as we relax while day turns to dusk. This intimate, open-minded environment empowers ladies from all walks of life to play harder and connect deeper. It is a unique backcountry experience worth discovering for yourself.

Why Choose the White Rim Ladies Ride?

This women's mountain bike tour combines one of the world's most famous trails with an environment built on support and shared adventure:

  • Iconic Moab Singletrack: Ride the 100-mile loop through Canyonlands National Park, featuring the dramatic Shafer Trail switchbacks and the sheer cliffs of the Colorado Plateau.
  • Supportive Ladies-Only Environment: Ride in an open-minded space designed to build confidence, foster friendships, and empower female riders of all backgrounds.
  • Geological Grandeur: Witness the "Totem Pole" pillars, the confluence of the Green and Colorado rivers, and the mysterious Upheaval Dome.
  • Fully Supported Backcountry Luxury: While you focus on the ride and the connection, our expert guides handle the gourmet camp kitchen, water logistics, and mechanical support.

Itineraries are subject to change due to weather, road conditions, rider safety and other factors which may affect the logistics of the adventure.

  • Road Surface: Four wheel drive jeep roads: packed sediment, sand and slickrock.
  • Overall Rating: Intermediate
  • Technical Difficulty: Moderate, some steep climbs and rocky sections.
  • Physical Difficulty: Moderate.

Be sure to bring everything on this list. We have carefully developed this list to ensure your comfort on the tour regardless of the weather. If you are prepared for extreme weather, it is an adventure. If you are not prepared it can be a serious problem.We recommend the layering system, including a wicking or long underwear layer, an insulating layer and a weather barrier for wind and rain. This list reflects that philosophy. Weather in the mountains can be unpredictable so be sure to bring all the warm clothing and rain gear listed!

HOW TO PACK: When you arrive for your tour, you will be given a dry bag in which to pack your gear for the trip. Smaller bags may fit, but very large duffels will not.

To pack efficiently in a dry bag, we highly recommend you compartmentalize your clothing and gear into separate bags. Stuff sacks, reusable grocery bags,
etc. in different colors work great for this (example: cycling gear in blue stuff sack, camp clothes in red stuff sack, etc.).

Your dry bag will ride on the Western Spirit support vehicle and will not be accessible during the day.

For this trip, you will need a riding pack and optional day bag:

  •  Your riding pack may be a hydration pack, but needs to carry 2-3 liters of water, rain gear, other warm clothing, and food for the day. You may be away from camp and the support vehicle all day and need to be self-sufficient.
  • A small day bag is optional and may be used to store things you’d rather not ride with, but would like to have access to during the day. This day-pack will remain with the support vehicle and may not be accessible, depending on the day.

Outstanding trip. We were blessed with great weather, outstanding guides, amazing food and an excellent mix of folks from all over the place that connected well on the White Rim. The biking was excellent and super fun, with just enough challenge thrown in. I was blown away by the Canyonlands area. Staggeringly beautiful and 10,000x more grand and expansive than I realized or expected. All in all a world class adventure. Thank you! - Mark 

Guides were fantastic. They always took great care to make sure we were set up for the day: food, hydration, ride plan, bike details, clothes etc. They worked tirelessly setting up camp, preparing meals, adjusting bikes and making sure everyone was comfortable. They were knowledgeable about the park , geology and flora/fauna which added to our experience. - Kevin 

Despite challenging weather conditions, this was a wonderful trip. The guides provided exceptionally tasty and healthy meals (including paying special attention to my food sensitivities), were incredibly supportive, skilled, prepared and were lovely individuals. I would recommend this company and the White Rim adventure! - Kelly
