Itinerary

Elevation Range: 6,000 – 9,000 ft.

Day 1: The Arizona Trail

Meet us in St. George. We shuttle to Kaibab Lodge.
After a quick pre-trip meeting and lunch, we will begin our ride into the forest along the Arizona Trail. As we descend, we’ll pass through abundant Ponderosa pine forests and many beautiful mountain meadows. Our final ascent up Mission Impossible delivers us to the secluded East Rim of the Grand Canyon, our camp for the next two nights. We’ll meet the van half way through the ride for a snack break and an opportunity to catch a ride back if you need it.
Total Mileage | 14 miles, Terrain | 90% Singletrack, 10% Jeep Road

Day 2: Arizona Trail, Saddle Mountain Wilderness

Riding from the East Rim, we’ll continue along the Arizona Trail for nine miles of rolling singletrack and beautiful scenery. We’ll meet the support van to regroup and enjoy a quick snack before continuing our ride through the forest. After 7 miles of Jeep road riding, classic Grand Canyon views again fill our sights. We’ll stop at the viewpoint for lunch and then begin a challenging out-and-back hike. The hike is strenuous, but the sense of adventure and incredible views all along the way of Point Imperial and beyond make for a great way to end our day. After the hike we’ll shuttle back for the evening.

Day 3: East Rim to North imp Point

Today’s ride is a combination of double track and fire roads that lead us over to our second camp. On this section of riding we’ll navigate through the deep backcountry of Kaibab National Forest. Once we reach camp we’re treated to an awe-inspiring view of the main part of the canyon. After lunch, relax at camp or venture out on an optional singletrack ride or hike along the Rainbow Rim trail. We all gather together again for dinner and another awesome sunset as we lookout upon the Tapeats Amphitheater of the Grand Canyon.

Day 4:  Rainbow Rim Trail

Today we ride along the most scenic singletrack bike trail, ever! Our 30-mile out and back ride along the Rainbow Rim Trail has over 20 different Grand Canyon viewpoints! Along the way we are sure to observe an abundance of wildlife. Since we bring our lunches out on the trail today, you can take your break and head back to camp whenever you are ready; ride as much or as little as you would like. The guides will be available for trailside assistance, but the day is yours to enjoy at your own pace.
Total Mileage | 30 miles Terrain | 100% Singletrack, No Van Support

Day 5: Indian Hollow

Today we continue our exploration with more fun riding. Our trip begins with a gentle ascent, but that initial section is followed by a rolling section with 4 big climbs and descents over 7 miles. The last section of our ride is a gradual downhill, leading us into Indian Hollow. We’ve reached our lunch spot, but we’ll get in a quick hike before lunch to checkout the viewpoint that lies at the top of the trail. After saying our goodbyes to the majestic canyon, we head back down to enjoy our last meal together. Following lunch we shuttle back to St. George
