Durango Mountain Bike Tours specializes in guiding private, custom mountain bike tours on the hundreds of miles of pristine single track in and around Durango. We can take you out on trips from 2 hours to full days. Having a guide show you the trails has many advantages. Your time here is limited, so wasting it trying to decipher a map or not knowing the best way to connect segments together takes away from your vacation experience.
Here are some of the suggested rides that can start right from your Durango hotel or bike shop. We like to customize every ride to fit each individual or family. There are seven main trail systems in and surrounding Durango, all a few minutes bike ride from downtown.
Twin Buttes, Dalla Mountain Park, Animas Mountain, Overend Mountain Park, Rim/Natures/Powerline Trails, Horse Gulch, and the Telegraph/ Grandview system all offer unique riding features and terrain with something to please everyone.We have the perfect tour for you. We start by teaching you the basics and will introduce you to the mountain bike, gears, balance, turning, braking and more.

Less than an hour's drive from Durango, Phil's World offers 30 miles of high desert singletrack that is designed specifically for mountain bikes. The network of trails offers something for everyone, from the fast flowy sections of Lemon Head to the technical Ledges. And don't forget Rib Cage for some swoopy fun that will make you feel like a kid again!
Just a short ride south of Durango lies an amazing mix of terrain including one of the largest selections of slickrock in New Mexico. You can find it all here - swooping flow trail, rim riding, slickrock sessioning, and tight turns among the pinons and junipers. Stronger riders can add the Outer limits loop for rocky climbs and plunging downhills.
Come and spend a mountain bike weekend in Durango with us - without all the hassles of planning where to stay, where to ride, what to eat. Let us arrange transportation from the airport, a place to stay, your bike rental, and most importantly where to ride your bike! If you fly into Durango, we will pick you up and get you back to the airport.

We were a family of four and John and Randy made the marquis event of our vacation a perfect day. No better way to spend a day around Durango than getting a first class mountain biking experience and a bit of local history along the way. First rate!!

Durango Mountain Bike Tours is top notch all the way! Jim was our guide and he provided the perfect arrangements for what we were seeking! Jim provided excellent phone and email communications before our ride, provided all the transportation, set us up with the exact type of bikes we asked for, listened to our biking preferences, and provided the perfect day - the kind we could have never done on our own with limited time. My friend and I were in Durango for a brief stop as part of a 7 day road ride in southern CO. We are avid mountain bikers, yet having little experience biking in the Durango

A quick chat with Jim over the phone was all that was needed to get a fantastic day of mountain biking set up. He had the bikes reserved, and suggestions for time and place. He picked us up at the hotel, got us to breakfast, and took into account the weather and our experience before taking us out to Phil's World for a great 3 hours of riding. He set the perfect pace for us, brought extra food, and carried extra water.
Highly recommended if you have limited time and are looking to have someone show you the best the area has to offer, rather than staring at your phone to see which way to turn only

Jim Mackay of Durango Mountain Bike Tours delivered such a great experience! First, there was very good front end communication regarding rider type and preference, logistics of the ride, etc. From there, riding with Jim was a pleasure. Great guy, great rider, perfectly chosen trails and tempo. Exactly what I was looking for. Using a guide was priceless when wanting to ride about 20 miles of the 200 miles accessible via mountain bike from downtown Durango. If you're looking for a great local experience of Durango and their MTB culture, choose Jim and DMBT. He even went out of his way to find me
