Transfer Option:

Utah's portion of the Colorado Plateau region is a semi-arid tableland or steppe ranging in elevation between 3,800 ft. and 11,500 ft. with vegetation classified as upper-Sonoran to Alpine. This landscape is famous for it's dynamic elevation changes with hundreds, even thousands, of feet changing literally in one step.
The key word in this description, as far as weather is concerned, is semi-arid. It is generally dry with most precipitation falling as snow in the winter and occasional thunder storms during the summer. Higher elevations are cooler and receive more moisture than lower environs. All trips explore the lower, slickrock and pinyon-juniper forested areas on spring and fall rides. In the heat of the summer, ponderosa-pine or aspen-spruce forests form the backdrop for experiencing the Canyonlands. Trip temperatures rarely exceed 90 degrees in the daytime or 40 degrees at night. With warm days and cool nights, it is best to layer your clothing to maintain comfort and you should always pack rain gear just in case.

We provide water bottles and saddle bags.

The parent will have to sign a waiver if a rider under 18 chooses not to wear a helmet.

In the final analysis, the cost for this quality trip make it one of the best buys in the adventure travel market. Also, for those participants who appreciate a cold beer after an eventful day or relaxing around the campfire with a cocktail, enjoy, but bring spirits in unbreakable containers if possible.
