Welcome to the Okanogan Experience

A Rugged, Remote, and Unforgettable Trip

Huge days in the saddle. Creekside campfires at night. This is riding at its rawest, wildest, and most rewarding — guided, catered, and unforgettable.

The Multi-Day MTB Experience You Didn’t Know You Needed — Until Now.

Big alpine descents, remote trail connections, and off-grid backcountry vibes in Washington’s wildest zone. We’ve spent years linking the best lines out here — now it’s your turn to ride them, with everything handled.

Unplug, North Cascades style

Ride high above Lake Chelan, then settle into creekside camp — no signal, no noise, just the rhythm of the mountains.

More than peaks and pedals

After the descent, hit the river, refuel by the fire, and relax into the quiet of Washington’s wildest zone.

Stay Deep in the Zone

Whether it’s tents under the stars or upgraded lodging nearby, rest comes easy out here — and the next ride is never far.

maximizing ride time & relaxation

From trailhead to tent, everything’s handled — you just ride, refuel, and kick back. 

Custom or scheduled. your call.

Join a scheduled trip or build your own with add-ons like a chef, video crew, or a post-ride fishing session. We make it yours.

Okanogan-Wenatchee Alpine MTB Adventure

Day 1: Welcome to the Wild

  • Afternoon arrival at basecamp near Twisp or the Methow Valley. Kick things off with cold drinks, tent setup (or get cozy in your cabin/lodging), and meet your crew and guides.

  • Camp orientation & bike check, followed by your first creek dip or hammock hang.

  • Dinner: Wood-fired camp feast featuring local ingredients and optional cocktails.

  • Evening: Campfire, trip overview, and gear check. Starry skies guaranteed.

Angel’s Staircase – The High Alpine Classic

  • Morning: Coffee, hearty breakfast, and drive to Crater Creek trailhead.

  • Ride: Climb into the clouds and conquer Angel’s Staircase — a mix of hike-a-bike, scenic ridge traverses, and one of the biggest descents in the state. Elevation gain 2,500+ ft, descent 5,000+ ft.

  • Lunch on trail, lakeside if the weather’s right.

  • Afternoon: Ride ends at the van with cold beverages and snacks waiting.

  • Evening: Sauna or creek plunge, chef-prepped dinner, fireside storytelling.

Day 3: Foggy Dew Ridge & Hidden Gems

  • Morning: Slow start with breakfast burritos and sunrise views.

  • Ride: A shuttle-assisted day exploring Foggy Dew Ridge and lesser-known gems like Martin Creek or Merchants Basin. Expect technical descents, bonus laps, and epic scenery.

  • Lunch at a high pass, surrounded by wildflowers and views of Glacier Peak.

  • Evening: Trail games, chef’s surprise dinner, and maybe a round of trail trivia or map review under the stars.

Day 4: Devil’s Backbone & Descent Days

  • Morning: Final big ride day — strong coffee, light breakfast, and off to Devil’s Backbone.

  • Ride: Traverse epic ridgelines, descending into remote forested valleys. Optional bonus descent based on energy levels and trail conditions.

  • Back to camp: Cheers with the crew, a cold local cider or beer, and a celebratory final dinner — gourmet, fireside, and full of stoke.

  • Evening: Trip highlights slideshow or pro photos reveal (if media add-on is included).

Day 5: Departure or Optional Half-Day Ride

  • Morning: Chill breakfast, creekside coffee, and pack-up.

  • Optional bonus ride if time and legs allow — think a short, flowy descent to cap it all off.

  • Departure by noon. Hugs, trail dust, and new riding buddies.
