Pura Vida Adventures climbing guides have led trips and explored the climbing area of Western North Carolina's Pisgah Forest near Brevard since 2000.
They have developed their skills through participation in formal climbing courses, practical work, and personal experience on North Carolina's rock and rock climbing routes around the world. They hold advanced medical wilderness certifications and have been trained in high angle rescue skills.

North Carolina Mountain Biking









Our guided mountain bike programs range to suite the needs of anyone from beginner to experienced and can be combined as part of any other activity to create a complete day.
We can create mountain biking programs that emphasize the downhill and minimize the uphill using our shuttle programs.


You do not need to be an experienced mountain biker to enjoy these programs. We can create a program that combines the joys of beginner biking while exploring the various waterfalls of the area. These programs allow you to cruise the downhills and at the end of the day have no concern about the long climbs up as we provide shuttle service for these trips.



Contact us today to learn more about our mountain biking programs which use shuttles.





Bikes and helmets are provided for participants or participants may bring their own gear. All participants will be required to wear approved bike helmets.
