6. Roads to the Top of Every Trail
While having roads spidering all through the mountains is a negative as it pertains to the wilderness character of an area, if you aren’t interested in climbing over a vertical mile every single day, having a road to the top of all of the epic singletrack descents is an incredible boon! While you won’t find daily, scheduled shuttles up to the tops of these trails (see #3 above), if you connect with an accomplished local guide like Jordi from MTB Dreams, he can organize all the shuttles you could ever desire! Every single one of our 11 rides featured a van uplift, providing a truly unique enduro mountain biking experience.
Do you actually prefer to grind up thousands of feet of uber-steep mountain every single day? That’s great, and you can do that too (MTB Dreams can make any trip you can imagine a reality), but more often than not you’ll just be grinding away on the same well-graded gravel roads that we rode up in our van.
