The area actually within Copper Canyon has utterly glorious scenery that must not be missed, but it is not technical riding, it's a dirt road. Probably the most scenic dirt road I ever rode on, though. For a real challenge I would recommend Western Spirit's Colorado singletrack trips. I went on the Telluride to Durango trip a couple of years ago and loved it.

I ride in Tahoe and I love taking it easy, but I also enjoy the advanced rides. My boyfriend, as well. So I am wondering if it would be a trip for us. Thanks, Abbie Hello,

We have some fantastic parks around here.

I miss riding my mountain bike. Congrats on the elevation gain...4,500 ft is nothing to scoff at! Looks like an awesome trip. I miss riding my mountain bike.
