Treehouse on Swift Campout
As a bike shop that celebrates community, and adventure by bike, Swift Campout embodies everything we love the most. It's a special time where the global bikepacking community can come together to rest, reflect, and recharge under the night sky! We love riding our bikes and it's always such a fun time to get out on our favorite trails with fellow bike lovers to celebrate the solstice, swift industries, and the sport of bike camping.
About the route
The mixed-terrain route takes you through downtown Boulder, up Boulder Canyon, and up up up Four Mile Canyon to Switzlerland Trail. We'll spend the night camping near Mount Alto Picnic Area then wake up bright and early to grab a bite to eat in Gold Hill. After that, we'll bike down Sunshine Canyon to get back to town and end right where we started. The route is a mix of bike path, paved roads, jeep roads, and gravel. The first day will be a steady climb up to camp abd the second day will be a long descent back into town.
There will be multiple pace groups and re-group points. This is a no-drop ride.
NOTE: This is not a beginner bikepacking trip due to the large amount of climbing and technical terrain! If you want to join but don't like this route, you're welcome to drive up and camp, or ride a route that feels better for you.
