Wanted to go to Brevard and mtb for years. Made plans with Red Wolf for 2020 and Covid hit. Finally got to NC and Barrett made sure it was a fantastic time in Dupont. Barrett reschedule on the fly so we could get the ride we wanted (it rained and the single track was not an option on our original day). Barrett picked up our bikes from the rental location the night before. He was patient as we were running behind due to another delay. Felt no pressure from him. He made sure we were comfortable on our bikes and then off we went. My son and I are stronger riders so we had Barrett and Carmine (2nd guide) for my daughter and wife. This let us each get a ride that matched our skill. Barrett quickly realized what we were capable of and gave us the perfect amount of challenge. We hit some nice climbs that resulted in payoff down hills that had great flow. He knows the trails inside and out. This let us get a verbal preview and ensure we could maximize the enjoyment while still being safe. Best of all Barrett was super positive the whole time and just connected with my 15 year old son. If I get back to Brevard I will book time with Red Wolf.…

Our 13 and 10 year olds spent 3 days mountain biking with Red Wolf. The guides were fantastic and very knowledgeable. Boys had an absolute blast. They biked DuPont & Pisgah Forests and ended their week biking Kanuga which was a goal for them both. Thank you Barrett & Chad!!!

Yuri and his 9 year old son, Ollie, guided us through the trails and roads of DuPont State Park. We had some unpredictable weather to navigate but Yuri was conscious of it and adjusted the trip to account for it and the skill levels of his group. He also spent a good portion of the day riding with our 7 year old daughter while Ollie capably guided my wife, my 11 year old son and me up the mountain and down some great trails. Yuri ensured we visited some amazing spots and walked away (fatigued) with more knowledge and appreciation of the area and it’s natural beauty. At the end of the day we made new friends in Yuri and Ollie. Thanks guys! Highly recommend Yuri and Red Wolf!…

Hiring a mountain biking guide was the best decision we have made. We went with Red Wolf tours. They were fantastic and will try to ONLY use then in the future. They are experts at facilitating great, once in a lifetime memories! We were referred to our guide Yuri. He was quick to sum up our lack of mountain bike experience (and my wife's anxiety about falling!) and tailored the mountain bike trip of a lifetime! He took us to DuPont State Recreational area and led us down old forestry roads and bike trails. Along the way we stopped to see waterfalls and and went to some beautiful lakes out in the middle of nowhere. His little boy was out of school so he came along. He seem to be almost as knowledgeable as his dad, Yuri. Talk about a devoted father. By the end of the day we were happy, tired, relaxed! It was a GREAT day and we can't wait to book another adventure with Red Wolf tours and Yurri! Steve…

Barrett made me feel right at home on the trails during our half-day session in DuPont State Forrest. Not only was he accessible and communicative in the weeks leading up to the tour, assessing my goals for the tour and gauging my riding level by asking what experience I had had on the trails, but he went above and beyond during the tour itself to adapt to changing weather conditions, skill level, and energy level. He helped me get set up with a rental bike as I was traveling from out of state for a wedding in Asheville, and he provided a helmet and all other necessary gear for me to use. He knows the trail systems like the back of his hands, and is quickly able to pivot mid-ride and flexibly adapt to your goals. Feeling winded on a long climb? He will happily stop for water and pause for breath, telling great stories along the way. Want to shred the downhill? He'll help you push yourself just the right amount to learn. Barrett is an excellent teacher as well if you are looking for riding tips and feedback. His feedback is actionable and concise, and he made the whole experience fun, educational, and engaging. I walked away from my tour feeling like I had soaked in the outdoors, ridden some beautiful local trails with a friend, and learned something to take home and continue working on in my own riding. I could not recommend Red Wolf highly enough, and I'm excited to tell family and friends about Barrett and his team next time they're in the area.…
