Having a seasoned guide to tailor a tour for your specific interests and skills can help you make the most of your time. Guides can also help you avoid getting lost, introduce you to new riding buddies and help you choose the right rental (some even provide rentals). You can also take the opportunity to up your game by combining a guided ride with a local instructor. WNC’s diverse selection of trails provide an ideal backdrop for honing your mountain biking skills.

PAS has teamed up with some of our local guides to offer a combined ride/trail volunteer opportunity - working along side fellow mountain bikers, making new friends and allowing you to give back during your vacation.
