All About Back Country Excursions
		Founded in 1991 by Cliff Krolick, Back Country Excursions is the first and longest running MTB touring company in the Eastern U.S.. Cliff began it by first promoting eco-biking tours & multi-sport adventures. From the start, mountain biking became the main draw. Cliff's love of nature and his deep personal conviction that: "the quality of human life is directly related to our appreciation and gratitude for the Natural Community", makes it clear that getting intimate with nature on a mountain bike is top priority around here.. His aim is to share rare and beautiful wild areas with clients while making minimal environmental impact. A portion of their procedes is annually donated to local environmental causes. Since BCE is located in a remote, secluded area in the foothills of the White Mountains, the center is a mecca for mountain biking enthusiasts of all abilities. The rich diversity of trail systems offers exceptional recreational riding, while also providing an excellent opportunity for multi-sport adventures...a small fleet of bikes, canoes, and innertubes is always ready to go! Fantastic trails, guided group rides, personal service, and a wide variety of interesting terrain and topography for all abilities.
