If you are used to fending for yourself in the wilds, backpacking or whatever, this system is an awesome way to get a little comfort and support without loading up like a pack mule. My sister and I, both in our 50s and experienced mountain bikers, bike tourers and backpackers, did the Telluride to Moab route in early July 2014. We had a GPS which made navigation easy, but just the cue sheets and maps would suffice if you are careful and have good intuition! The huts were clean, well stocked, and nicely hidden so no one passing on the dirt road would ever know they are there.Notes for a happy trip: There is NO ground water available unless listed on the cue sheet, so carry at least 3 liters, more if you sweat a lot. No sag wagon, no guide, no cook, very minimal cell service, only 2 spots the whole time--you are on your own. Don't count on passing motorists to save your bacon in an emergency--you could go several days without seeing another soul even though these are public roads. It is a long walk out if you can't fix your bike or your body, so ride with caution. Afternoon thunderstorms were fierce the first 4 days, starting at exactly 2:15 pm, so set an alarm and get going early. Nothing technical in the riding, but long, steep hills (Jim Brown Canyon goes up to 15% grade--we pushed at about 1 mph on the steepest part). If you are from sea level (we are) absolutely try to get to Telluride a day or so before to acclimate to altitude. We didn't and paid the price climbing to 11.000 feet the first day. We were super comfy with just 2 people in the hut, but I'll bet it gets pretty tight with 8, especially if the weather is too bad to be outside.

The past 4 days was our second trip into the North Pole Hut on the winter route. You just can't beat the fact that you've usually got the hut to yourself, there's so few people that make the trek in. All the bare basics are already in the hut - you bring whatever else makes you comfy - but you'd better make it a light backpack AND be ready for anything. If you can do that, you will be rewarded. We've already booked the 7 day Durango/Moab bike trip on the other set of huts! I can't thank SJHS enough for having these gems socked away deep in the mountains, ready for us when we need them!

Did the 7 day DTM and had a blast! Every hut was well stocked and perfectly located. My wife had plenty of great food choices even though she is gluten-free, vegetarian, and vegan. Weather was not an issue, regardless if it rained or was hot. The riding wasn't difficult, but we certainly got plenty of time in the saddle and also had time to make side trips at each hut. Don't get me wrong - this ride isn't for everyone. You'd better be ready and able to handle whatever might come. The fine folks at SJHS provided .gpx files, detailed maps, and written directions. We preferred to not use a GPS so that we could get the most from this adventure, so I pored over the maps. It turned out that their written directions were so good that we didn't really need the maps. This trip was for our wedding and SJHS was very accommodating. I absolutely plan to do another ride with them!

I just got back from a week on the Durango to Moab trail of the San Juan Hut system. The huts were hard perfect for what we needed. A lot of thought has gone into the routing and we had a very spectacular ride through three nights in Alpine huts and three nights in desert huts. The food was plentiful and the beer was always welcome at the end of a hard day of mountain biking. I would really recommend this trip for anyone wanting to make a memory to last a lifetime. It is nothing at all like a walk in the park, this is some of the hardest cycling I have ever done but I loved it. Day 6 was too much walking and I would have liked an easier maybe longer routing option that would have allowed me to do more riding and less walking. Other than that the hut locations were excellent and the routing through the area was perfect. An awesome adventure.

Just returned from our second San Juan Hut Systems trip. We had a great ride from Telluride to Gateway and would highly recommend it. Route was fun, huts in great condition, and good food. Thanks SJHS! The single track route on day 5 was the highlight. Other recommendation is to pack light.

Myself & 3 buddies Mtn biked Durango to Paradox mid June and had a blast, The hard climbs payed off with amazing views. The huts are well stocked with food and drink, clean and in great locations.would recommend to anyone who wants to step outside the comfort zone and have an amazing adventure.

I've done three SJHS rides and had a ball every time. One of the rides was nearly ruined by the weather but saved by Kelly, who came looking for us when she figured we might be in trouble. This group is very mountain experienced and will try hard to make you smile.

We did the Durango to Paradox trip in late July. It was a GREAT trip. The SHJS peeps did all in their power to make this an epic trip. The huts were well stocked with food and water, the maps & gps coordinates never got us lost... the views were nothing short of amazing. Ok, so the climbing was a bit rough for us sea-level creatures... but the adventure was worth it. The trip is very affordable. I'm already thinking about doing the Telluride to Moab in the future...

I just finished the Telluride to Moab trip last week and had a blast. The riding was varied (technical single track to well-packed dirt roads) and there were great options for every level of experience and fitness in our group. The huts were comfy, stocked with great food, and clean. The day-by-day maps, directions, GPS waypoints and additional single-track maps were really above and beyond my expectations. I have already reserved a week for next year.

If you are a mountain biker with a sense of adventure, this is the ultimate trip for you.It is not a 5 star hotel. It is not easy. It is not for the weak.The sights were unbelievable. The huts were well stocked. The routes were easy to follow.Don't believe the bad reviews..this was AWESOME.
