Itinerary*

*Expect slight variations in itinerary between the two retreats.

​

Day 1: Welcome to SW Utah!

​

We are so excited to share this experience with you! This trip starts and ends in the quaint town of Hurricane, Utah. You can get here by flying to Las Vegas and taking a shuttle or you can fly directly to the St George Airport. Check out the Trip Details and Destination Info for the full trip logistics and information. Once you arrive and get settled in, join the group to build bikes and get to know one another. 

After you’re unpacked and settled into your space for the trip, the group will meet on the patio for a welcome party. We’ll review our incredible itinerary, set intentions for the week, build our bikes (with hands on tips and tricks to share!), and enjoy some local beverages and food. We’ll have tools, pumps, and extra hands for anyone needing assistance assembling their bikes. 

Head to bed early for a good night’s sleep and get ready for our amazing adventure ahead!

​

Day 2: Desert Skills, Yoga and Poolside Cocktails

Kick off your morning with breakfast overlooking the desert landscape. We will provide in house breakfast so everyone can get a healthy start to each day. *(Note: There will be food options available for all dietary needs.) 

This morning we’ll head to the famous Gooseberry Mesa and kick off our trip riding the Wire Mesa loop. This newer trail is an intermediate loop with fun flowy segments speckled with fun, technical slickrock sections…the perfect warm up to southern Utah mountain biking. We will stop to session at select areas on the trail and spend the morning working on skills, with pro tips from expert coaches, that will make your desert riding experience that much more fun! 

After our ride, we'll have a picnic lunch near the trailhead then head down the road to ride, what Bike Magazine voted as one of flowiest trails in America – the JEM trail. This trail network has a variety of options, so we’ll pick one of our favorites, and show you why this trail is such an awesome topper to the day. 

After an incredible day of riding, we’ll return to our home for a relaxing yoga session and poolside cocktails. Dinner will be provided for the group tonight by our in-house private chef. 

​

Day 3:  Mesa Riding, Rock Rolls and Post Ride Workshop

Today we will offer an early morning yoga session before enjoying our group breakfast. We have another big day of riding today, so we want to set you up for success. After breakfast, we’ll hit the road and head to the world class trail network of Gooseberry Mesa. We’ll spend the whole day riding one of Southern Utah’s best mountain bike trail systems. Fun technical climbs, epic slickrock descents and views that will leave you wanting more! 

This is a big day, so we’ll take our lunch with us on the trail. We’ll plan to be out riding for 6+ hours and have lunch at an incredible point along the trail with amazing views. Note: There is an option for some of the group to ride a shorter loop and the rest of the group to ride the full big day option.  

After this amazing day out on the trail, we’ll head back for an ice-cold beverage, fist bumps and relish in an amazing day on the trails! After a quick dip in the pool, we will group up for an extraordinary workshop. This workshop will provide a unique roundtable experience with facilitated discussions around select topics such as fear, recovering your headspace after a fall, and how to expand your comfort zone on two wheels. 

We will top off this incredible day with a spectacular group dinner provided just for our group. Enjoy some much-needed R&R and get ready for another extraordinary day of riding tomorrow! 

Day 4:  Lands of the Anasazi

​

After breakfast, join the group and travel to Little Creek Mesa for a full day of riding. 

Boasting 20+ miles of technical slickrock and singletrack, Little Creek Mesa Trail will not disappoint. This area is known for its rich history as well as its archaeological significance. It’s also known for being an area where riders get lost on their ride! There’s something magical about riding a trail that is off the beaten track, hard to find, and hard to follow - and our Guides know it like the back of their hand (BTWs!). 

We’ll follow cairns through this incredible desert ride with incredible views towards Gooseberry Mesa and the Pine Valley Mountains. We'll stop for a lunch break mid-trail, as this epic ride is known to take anywhere from 4-6 hours. Then we’ll continue our journey through the historical lands of the Virgin Anasazi as we loop our way back to the start, where cold beverages will be waiting for trailhead celebrations. 

We’ll return to our lodging in time to stretch, shower and relax before settling into an intimate evening with a final dinner provided by our chef. Bon Appetit!  

​

Day 5:  Morning Yoga, Breakfast and Return HomeTime to say farewell!  Till next time . . . 

​

Rise and shine for one last yoga session together. We'll waken our bodies with the rising sun and then enjoy a final breakfast together overlooking the desert. 

With gratitude, high fives, and newfound friends, it's time to say farewell...until next time! 

Thanks for riding southern Utah with us! We hope to ride with you again…
