Big Bend Mountain Bike Tours – Lizard Head Cycling Guides
Supported five-day camping trips on Big Bend's desert trails
About
Lizard Head Cycling Guides is a Colorado tour company that runs a spring trip to West Texas. Its Big Bend Mountain Bike Tours are fully supported five-day camping trips in the desert around the Rio Grande.
The trip
Riders meet in El Paso in the afternoon before day one. The group then rides for five days and returns to El Paso on the evening of the last day. Nights are spent camping, and the guides handle the logistics, so you can focus on riding.
Who it suits
This is a trip for riders who are happy spending several days in a row on the bike in remote desert country. Support vehicles and shuttles help link the riding, and a mechanic is on hand if something breaks.
What is included
The price of $1,850 per person covers five days of guiding, four nights of camping, all meals, park fees, snacks and drinks, shuttles and mechanical support. Alcohol and massage cost extra.
Good to know
Trips run in March, when the desert is cooler. At the time of writing the company listed weeks in March 2027, and not every date is guaranteed to run. Book through the website or by email or phone. The office is in Ophir, Colorado.
