Our 5-day Kokopelli Trail mountain bike tour follows the historic Kokopelli Trail through the bad-lands of western Colorado on beautiful rare desert single track that parallels the Colorado River for the first two days. This section of track has some short steep climbs and long open flats.

Next, the route climbs into the La Sal Mountains for two days. From our camps more than 8000′ above sea level, we can look to the east at the Rocky Mountains or to the west at the red rock desert below. We conclude this great tour with a descent back to river level via the famous Porcupine Rim Trail!

This is an Advanced/Intermediate tour with mileages ranging from 25-35 miles/day with up to 4000′ of climbing.

The Kokopelli legend has become an icon of the desert southwest.

It is known as the God of Fertility. The Kokopelli is often depicted in rock art as a Flute Player who frequently carries a pack. One story tells of the Kokopelli who visits a village with a pack full of seed. After a long day of planting and a long night of dance, flute music & celebration, all the women in the village would wake up pregnant!
