THE EXPERIENCE
SAN JUAN HUTS SHUTTLE
The San Juan Huts Experience
Set in the heart of Southwest Colorado, the San Juan Hut trail system invites adventures for a 215-mile journey from the Colorado Plateau to Moab Utah. Navigating this trail, you traverse the stunning Weminuche Wilderness Area, discover historic mining sites, and enjoy fishing and wildlife viewing opportunities.
This adventure requires endurance, determination, and map-reading skills. The trail ascends to elevations over 12,000 feet, and riders must navigate unmarked routes, find the huts, and fend for themselves. It's a challenging but rewarding journey, pushing riders to their limits and providing a sense of solitude and self-reliance.
Despite its challenges, the San Juan Huts trail offers an awe-inspiring, life-changing experience. Over multiple days, riders are immersed in the wilderness, disconnected from the outside world, making it a unique and unforgettable journey. With months of advance planning and preparation, this trail is a testament to human endurance and spirit, offering an adventure that will last a lifetime.

Learn More About The
San Juan Hut Systems
The San Juan Hut trail system in Colorado offers "hut-to-hut" backcountry tours supported by isolated mountain huts across Colorado and Utah's best mountain biking trails.
The tour requires careful planning and preparation. San Juan Huts provides a Biker Bible, detailed trail descriptions, and a GPX file upon booking.
On this trail are 16 isolated huts spaced 30-40 miles apart, linked by a network of singletrack trails and routes extending from the high mountains near Telluride, Ouray, and Durango to the slick rock of Moab.
While simplifying the entire process by providing fully stocked huts, San Juan Huts gives riders a minimalist experience and the ability to stay in the backcountry longer without having to weigh themselves down with all the essentials associated with self-supported bike packing. Despite the physical challenges and harsh conditions, many riders find the experience life-changing.
