Q and A

Yes! This activity is great for family bonding! Kids under 18 must be accommodated by an adult.

Jasper is predominantly cross country trails. Trails in the valley provide light climbs, single track and double track. Trails on the 'bench' provide tougher climbs and elevation. Most of our trails are hand built by volunteers and do not have man made features. Some trails are packed down wit machines to prevent erosion.

Nope! We have bike rentals in Jasper. However if you would like to bring your own bike feel free.

Helmets are mandatory no exceptions. A bike helmet is included with a bike rental. If you bring your own helmet that's great to. If you bring your own bike and need a helmet we can arrange that.

Booking in advance is highly recommended. Our online platform will let you book from a year up to 24 hrs before. If you have not booked in advance and there are still tours available for that day you will have to call us to book.  

No sorry. Children must be over six years old and able to ride a bike without training wheels. Dogs are not allowed off leash in the National Park. If you require baby sitting or dog sitting there is a local service called Jasper Nanny which you can contact.

Our beginner tour for three hours with photo breaks and a snack break is usually something most able bodied people can endure. If you can walk in the city for four hours you should be able to come biking with us.

Cancellations are accepted with valid reason and will be refunded with a %10 cancellation fee if done 48 hours before your tour.

If there is light rain we will still go biking. Unpredictable events like hail, wild fires, snow, wind storms, may occur. If for some reason your guide believes it is  not safe to go riding at that time a later time may be negotiated. Your safety is the most important to us and we have the right to cancel at any time for safety reasons.

Travel insurance is recommended but under your own discretion. Each rider is required to fill out and sign a waiver before the tour. This waiver highlights that you are responsible for the risks and liabilities of the sport.

We understand our customers come from all over the world. Currently we only offer guides who speak English. We recommend for the best experience and for your safety that you only participate in our tour if you can understand basic instructions in English.

Accomodation fills up quickly in Jasper. We recommend you book a hotel room or campsite in advance. Hotels options are many. Our friends at the Astoria and the Robson House would be a great place to start. Whirlpool and wapiti campgrounds through parks Canada are close to town with showers. Camper vans, RVs, and trailers are not allowed to park in the town overnight.
