This trip to Kokopelli’s Trail is sponsored by Team Evergreen and South Park Adventure Guides. If you are ready to be pampered with 5 star dining and evening showers, then this is the trip for you. After a hard day of riding you will be treated to a shower and incredible dining. Our typical sea food night includes Alaskan king crab legs, Maryland crab cakes and grilled salmon. We will also have ice cream every night. The route will follow Kokopelli’s Trail with some awesome side loop single track riding along the Colorado River when we pass through Rabbit Valley. In addition, on our last day we will link the upper Porcupine Rim trail and have a 4,000’ decent to the Colorado River just outside of Moab.

It will be the rider’s responsibility to get to Loma for the start. Carpooling is always an option. We will be back to our vehicles in Evergreen on Sunday night by about approximately 7:00 pm.
A support vehicle will carry our gear the whole ride, so we will be riding light. Please only one duffel per person due to limited space. You are responsible for providing your own tent (or arrange to share one), a sleeping bag, and a pad. We will also provide a suggested packing list.
