Konaworld Travels Wyoming’s Grand Tetons

Let Teton Mountain Bike Tours guide you through postcard perfect Grand Teton National Park …or any of the other vast tracts of neighbouring wilderness and forest area. Breath in mountain air, ride in mountain awe.

Wyoming’s Grand Teton range is nine million years young. In mountain years that makes this Rocky Mountain range a little like a teenager – raw and gutsy and bursting with life. The Teton’s jagged peaks push high into the wide Wyoming sky. United they stand in sheer contrast to the vast Jackson Hole alpine valley floor to define a skyline in an un-paralleled panorama. To ride here is both a privilege and a gift.

As a ride destination this corner of Wyoming doesn’t disappoint or discriminate. Grand Teton National Park butts up against the south end of Yellowstone National Park. Cradled by millions of acres of designated national park, wilderness and forest lands that combined make up the Greater Yellowstone ecosystem, this region is touted as the largest nearly intact ecosystem in lower 48. Riding here means you’re riding in a bison, elk, deer and bear playground. Top that off, there’s enough square mileage of off-road riding possibility to satisfy most skill sets and interests. The trick to getting the most out of riding here is to ride with a guide.

Spencer’s Season Opener – Great Despite the Flats

The 2011 race campaign about to start. For the last three years I had been meeting up with the Kona crew down in SoCal in March, so in that respect there was nothing too novel about showing up in San Dimas, CA for the 2011 season opener at Bonelli Park. But in lots of other ways the weekend felt very fresh. Biggest of all, it was the first weekend ‘on the job’ with Kona. Demo Dave (new Kona mechanic) met me at the airport on Friday afternoon in the shiny new Kona truck and we drove out to the race venue for a dusk patrol lap on the course before it shut down.
