Retired Trips

Trips of days gone by...

The experts are saying that Bigfoot is no longer utilizing our splendid Wallowa Valley to raise their young. Apparently "someone" spooked them off.
If you ask us it just sounds like they wanted to move to the beach for a taste of that island life... but no one knows for sure.

Truth be told things change, such is life... We have had a lot of fun with the variety of different specialty after dark trips we have offered in the past. Be it our Bigfoot Hunt, Stargazing Trip, or Twilight Tour.

It's no secret that we take the safety of everyone involved in our trips very seriously. Once we realized that exhaustion was frequently taking over it was time to make some changes to make sure we uphold our standards for fun and safe adventures. It really came down to these very very long and trying days being difficult for our young family to keep up with.

Maybe someday we'll consider giving an after dark trip a try again but for now we'll stick to adventuring in the light.

If you are seeking an extra unique adventure during a time we don't normally operate we encourage you to join us on a pedal during the famed golden hour.
Our new Golden Hour Trip, which takes place just before sunset is an awesome photography trip and an amazing time to be out on the rails.
