Mountain Biking Trips

Mountain Biking in Colorado On our mountain biking adventures, you will ride Colorado's best and most scenic trails. Our region features amazing alpine dirt roads and dreamy single-track terrain. You can cruise a segment of the Colorado Trail or challenge yourself in the rarified air on the Monarch Crest. Mountain bike rides make great family adventure vacations or youth group activities. Our gung-ho mountain bike guides help choose the trip that's best for your Colorado vacation. So whether you're seeking a quick escape from the urban insanity of Denver or Colorado Springs, or come to us from farther afield, at RMOC our goal is to make your trip enjoyable and safe while improving your confidence for future rides.

Our location, amidst some of the best mountain biking in the world, allows us to cater to your family's needs. Our avid mountain bike guides divide our rides into three different skill levels (see trail rating chart). On our most popular ride, Aspen Ridge, the views of the Arkansas River Valley and the Collegiate Peaks thrill and amaze riders who cruise along the 4-wheel drive roads. We rate the Aspen Ridge trip as easy, that means friendly for the entire family. All mountain bike trips are van-supported, so feel free to bring the comforts of home.
