Thanks for the Out West clips. Takes me back to Reno and all my riding in and around there and Tahoe. There's nothing like a 2 hour ascent followed by 1/2 an hour of pedaling free downhill!
Yes it was. We rented them. I didn't really like it. The suspension was WAY TOO SOFT even when inflated pretty hard so I had the rear shock locked out 99% of the trip. There's nothing like your own bike, but we just didn't want to deal with lugging ours to and then around Colorado. Rented several bikes. In Durango, I rented an Intense 5.5... what a nice ride that was! :-)
Where was the single track guys? Nice video anyway.

This particular trip didn't have any, but many of theirs do.

Great video. I sent to a friend who is considering this tour. We've done it twice about 10 years apart because of the beauty of the Plateau.
What kind of camera did you use while riding?

They could totally use this as a promotion video

Great video I really enjoyed it! I'm considering doing the hut route. why did you choose this way?

We considered doing the hut to hut too, but went with Western Spirit for several reasons:
1. We couldn't get any friends to go with us and didn't want to risk sleeping in the huts with a bunch of strangers.
2. We didn't want to carry our gear if we didn't have to.
3. We didn't want to clean dishes (and boy Western Spirit food was AWESOME, much better than hut food I suspect)
4. Any mechanical problems - they would fix.
5. No risk of getting lost.
6. Takes one less day with them
