About Our Tours: R&S Northern Tours are designed for your pleasure and comfort. Tour the great northern wilderness with for pure enjoyment without anxiety. The north is very big. Distances between settlements are long. Marked trails and local 'informal' trails intersect to create confusion and draw you into unknown territory. The natural beauty of our spectacular northern wilderness masks her unforgiving nature and the hostility of a cold and long winter night alone should you be unable to reach your destination for any reason. We want you to enjoy the scenery and the thrill of riding these extremely remote trails while we worry about meeting arrival deadlines getting you safely to your hotel each night. Sure you can try running these trails on your own but you may find yourself wondering which trail to take late in the day when making a mistake can spoil your trip. You may get lost. You may get stranded. Some riders have wound up in the wrong town. You may even miss your dinner!
