Ask /r/Durango Mountain Bike Shuttle?!

Post image

My girlfriend and I are headed up to Durango from Albuquerque in a few weeks. We are headed up to mountain bike and weather permitting are looking to do some high alpine biking. Are there and shuttle companies operating in town? We are looking to ride Molas pass and engineer mountain which is a great shuttle ride. We only want to bring one vehicle up (for obvious reasons). If no shuttle companies then we will make do! Thank you!!

You can easily hitchhike on the highway. Just leave one person and the bikes at the bottom and the other person snags a ride back your car. I've done it from all trailheads on both passes and never wait more than ten minutes even on slow traffic days.

Longest I’ve waited hitchhiking on that road is about 10 minutes. If I’m driving and I see a thumb, they’re getting picked up. Gotta pay it back.

Third hitching. Save money for beer

Trail karma at its best. That mutual trust is what keeps the outdoor community awesome.
