Guiding

Sedona is a rider's paradise. Enjoy epic views of the red rock

formations while riding some of the best singletrack in the western U.S. 

​

Our professional guides will plan your tour based on your skill level and riding goals, taking all the guesswork out of map reading and choosing which trails to ride. Best of all, all of our guided rides include instruction designed to help you ride the terrain with more confidence and control.

 

Sign up for a day of private guiding or bring your own group of up to four friends for a multi-day riding vacation. You pick your riding dates. Rates start at $125.00 per day, per person and include professionally guided mountain bike riding, instruction, a Red Rock permit (where required), and trail snacks.

Fitness and Technical Level

Fitness Level: Riders should be comfortable being out of the trail for 2.5 to 4 hours per day, riding at a moderate pace. Our guiding includes instruction allowing you to immediately apply your learning to the trails. Many routes will have 1,000 feet of climbing or more at an elevation of 4,300 feet. We will ride at a comfortable, consistent pace stopping to session features and taking breaks, and won’t be out to chase Strava PR’s.

 

Technical Level: Riders should have prior mountain bike experience and be able to comfortably control their speed and ride a variety of terrain including sand, rocks, or ledges. Our guides will tailor your guided ride to your experience level and will integrate instruction into your ride providing you the opportunity to immediately apply your skills to the trail.
