About Colorado Backcountry Biker
Colorado Backcountry Biker is a full-service bike shop and guided-trip company based in downtown Fruita at 150 S Park Square. Established in 2008, the shop pairs a friendly rental and repair operation with a specialty found almost nowhere else in the region: multi-day, hut-to-hut mountain bike adventures across the remote Uncompahgre Plateau. It has become a favourite of riders who want both a reliable town shop and a genuine backcountry experience.
On the shop side, the team offers quality, professionally maintained rental mountain bikes, expert set-up, tune-ups and repairs on any kind of bicycle, plus local knowledge of the Fruita and Grand Junction trail networks. Their signature offering is a series of self-guided three- and four-day hut trips on the plateau, where riders link high-country singletrack between backcountry huts while the company shuttles gear from hut to hut, so you carry only what you need for the day.
What makes Colorado Backcountry Biker stand out is the combination of budget-friendly logistics and true wilderness riding. The huts, the gear transfers and the route planning are all handled for you, letting riders of intermediate ability and up experience multi-day backcountry singletrack without the heavy packs or route-finding stress. It is a rare, well-run operation that turns a Fruita bike trip into a full mountain expedition.
