How the day runs
We deliver the machine for your six-hour rental and collect it at the trailhead afterwards. The team confirms your meeting time before the ride. Contact us about transport to the meeting point.
We run Bear Lake from June 1 to October 1. The trailheads do not operate outside the summer season.
Where you meet us
This is the exact spot, straight out of our booking system. Save the pin before you leave Anchorage or Girdwood: there is no reliable mobile signal at most of these trailheads.
Six-hour rental. Confirm your meeting time with the team before travelling.
