The singletrack and scenery of the Durango High Country tour are second to none. The San Juan Mountain Range has been referred to as "America's Alps"...a comparison with which we think you will agree.
Teddy Roosevelt’s vision, circa 1905, was to preserve the San Juan Mountain Range within a 1.8-million-acre (3000-square mile) National Forest. Your guides live for this: sharing some of the area’s unbelievably scenic routes. The unique terrain features big open runs through high meadows that roll like waves, exploding in shoulder-high wildflowers.
For point and shoot types, the low-key signage at the trailhead, “Watch for Traffic” means sharing space with mule deer, coyotes, fox, Wild Turkey, bobcat, not to mention some 200 types of songbirds and raptors.
Prepare yourself for the piece de resistance: home-cooked, outrageously flavourful secret recipes, specifically drawn from the area. These dishes continue to surprise even Durango returnees and will be a highlight of the trip.
This tour is scaled from intermediate to advanced riders, those possessing above average fitness and moderate technical riding skills.
