I just got back from a 5-day mountain-bike tour of the Kokopelli Trail. The tour company was Rim Tours. I absolutely cannot recommend them highly enough. The food was fantastic - not just good for camping food, but good by any standard. The riding was incredible and widely varied. Beautiful sights around every turn.
