Turn the blue lines on maps into trails and acquire the whitewater paddling skills you need to run trips on your own! “We want you to get you on the edge of your own reality to feel things you’ve never experienced.” ~Head Guide Steve “Doom” Fassbinder.
Have you ever considered lashing your bike on a packraft, paddling down a river, then putting that boat on your bike and hopping on some single track? It’s as easy as that! Well sort of. It helps to understand how to transition and navigate a boat with a bike on it. So learn to Bikeraft!
There are still blank spots on the map, specifically in the Ute Mountain Ute Tribal Park. And Four Corners Guides has the exclusive permit to take you on bikepacking and packrafting trips into the Tribal Park.
In 2025 we’re running three Level ⓶⓷ courses abroad: Expedition Packrafting in New Zealand and Chiapas, Mexico (January), New Zealand (February) and Chile (March).
