#BikepackHer – #BikeraftHer
Tours Now Scheduled Starting Spring 2020!
Developed by our friends at Revelate Designs, #BikepackHer is “an ongoing mission to celebrate, recognize, and encourage more women to participate in cycling and bikepacking,” and, for us, bikerafting. A long-time advocate for empowering outdoorswomen, our CEO, Lizzy Scully, started a women’s climbing magazine in the early 2000s, co-founded a nonprofit called Girls Education International, and all her major climbing expeditions have been exclusively with women. Thus, it was natural for her to cultivate female-focused programming and adopt #BikepackHer principles. “I love going on bike and raft trips with Doom,” Lizzy says. “But I feel less hurried and more at ease learning with and from other women. I hope to empower more women to get out on bikes and packrafts!” Of course, any woman can join any Four Corners Guides Tour. But, if you want a more female-focused learning adventure, these might be right for you!

Meet the Ladies
Do you want to learn to bikepack or take your already-existing backcountry skills to the next level by adding a packraft to the mix? Our various, skilled female guides have a collective decades of experience between them guiding and instructing in the outdoors. Sarah Tescher, Cara Kropp, and Ashley Carruth work for Durango Devo, a nonprofit that gets kids on bikes. Sarah also works for First Descents, an organization that gets cancer survivors in the outdoors, while Ashley co-founded and is a lead guide for San Juan Mountain SOLES, an organization that inspires young women to lead healthy, fulfilling lives rooted in big mountains. Also on board is Liz Sampey, a professional multi-sport adventure athlete and owner of Vital Motion Coaching. Liz will be teaching a to-be-announced retreat at Scullbinder Ranch late spring that will incorporate bikepacking and packrafting, along with clinics on strength, fitness, and sports performance.
