The Ride

Overview

The Crested Butte Singletrack is a 5-day guided mountain bike tour near Crested Butte, Colorado featuring pristine singletrack

“The Butte” is one of the best places you will ever ride, period. This is the place to experience pristine singletrack that has been featured in bike magazines since the inception of the Pearl Pass ride in 1976. Our trail choices are longtime favorites including Teocalli Ridge, Reno Ridge, Brush Creek and more. You’ll view mountain peaks in every direction as well as the best wildflower show in Colorado. Camp each day is beside a roaring creek, and within moments of the trail. Elevations range from 9,000 to 12,000 feet with mileage ranging from 17-30 miles a day. Plan an extra day or two to take in one of the many summer festivals and to explore the picturesque town of Crested Butte. We have been loving eBikes in the Crested Butte high country, and can’t wait to share more of it with you all. We are pioneering backcountry eBike adventures and our solar-battery charging systems will keep the batteries charged up. eBikes are allowed on motorized trails in the Crested Butte area on Gunnison National Forest Lands. Fortunately, many classic rides are part of this fantastic network, but not 401, or Doctors Park. Expect to get off the beaten path, ride new trails, and maybe an extra lap of your favorite too. These singletrack trails are **Upper Intermediate** riding, but can be tailored to the group’s interests.

Day-by-Day Itinerary

– Our guides will meet you at the Inn at 8 AM and we'll take care of bike fittings and any last-minute details. Today we'll ride directly from town and get acquainted with the trails, bikes and high-altitude riding. Plan to rideThere are plenty of options to make this ride longer or shorter as some folks may feel the high elevations. Panoramic views of Mt. Crested Butte and the surrounding Elk mountains will astound you and rolling terrain make this is an excellent first day ride; the riding is challenging, but not too technical. Everything is within walking distance of your lodge.

2

– Today's ride will be either Deer Creek or Teocalli Ridge. This ride ends near Gothic Mountain, which is a prominent peak you'll see from town, and we'll pass through the town of Gothic on our way back to town. Rocky Mountain Biological Institute sets up a summer research station here and it's always interesting to see what they are studying. This is classic Crested Butte ride with some challenging climbing sections and super fun singletrack trail riding. The Rocky Mountains are spectacular in the summer, particularly for the wildflowers, and you'll find yourself wanting to linger in the backcountry as long as you can each day.
