These guides pioneered "guided packhorse supported mountain bike tours" in the south Chilcotin Mountains. These multi day single-track wilderness bike tours are guided and they are done in prime biking areas where there is no conflict with horses and hikers. Bikers based out of the ranch have daily options that include a mix of trails into the alpine with your guide(s). Camp based bikers can choose between Level I, II or III. They do not do unguided extreme biking. Access in and out of the camp is a 6-8 hour ride with elevation changes of up to 1000 m over uneven terrain. Daily itineraries vary according to the level of the trip and the groups interests.
