Back Country Excursions gives you access to over 30 miles of pristine mountain biking trails. They range from easy rolling terrain to steep climbs, long downhills, water crossings, switchbacks, and more. The trails are virtually mud-free during the riding season. You'll ride amongst pine forest, along rocky lake shore and over river bridges. Your guide will help select the best trails for each day's ride.

High quality, fully equipped mountain bikes and helmets are included in the trip package, so you don't need to worry about the extra expense and risk of traveling with your own bike.

Back Country Excursions is now a national and international sponsor / host for Concerts In Your Home. 2-4 times per month they will be showcasing very talented musical artists /singer-songwriters from around the USA and Europe.

There is no additional fee / no cover charge to the guests, however donations are always welcome and all donations go directly to supporting each artist's performance. Upon booking your reservation, if interested, please inquire about Back Country Excursions' concert schedule to see who may be performing.

We highly recommend purchasing travel insurance for all trips. Travel insurance allows you to seek reimbursement if you are forced to cancel your trip for unforeseeable reasons, or if you need to cover medical help, emergency transport, and/or theft or accidental damage while traveling. For travel insurance, we recommend VisitorsCoverage.

We recommend you visit the local government websites where you plan to travel and review the required documentation for entry, current restrictions, and general recommendations for travel within the area. We encourage you to also visit your home country's embassy website if you are traveling to a foreign country. Requirements can change rapidly. Please be sure you stay abreast of the requirements and restrictions for anywhere you plan to visit. You can also enroll in the U.S. government’s Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP) and you will be sent updates if the situation in your destination changes. You can find the program link at https://step.state.gov/.
