Adventure Meets Indulgence – Parker Pie Run 2026
The Parker Pie Run 2026 is a classic Ridgeback Guide Service one-day trail ride that delivers big adventure without the multi-day commitment. This guided run through Northern Vermont’s Class IV roads combines scenic backcountry driving, approachable off-road challenges, and a legendary finish that makes the miles even sweeter.
Designed as a relaxed but rewarding day on the trail, this trip is ideal for drivers who want real dirt-road experience, convoy camaraderie, and a well-earned reward at the end of the day. Whether you’re new to guided off-roading or a seasoned RGS regular looking for a fun, low-pressure run, the Parker Pie Run delivers.
What to Expect
• Green & Blue Trails
A balanced mix of Class IV roads and backcountry routes that offer moderate challenges without being intimidating. These trails are perfect for stock and lightly modified vehicles and focus on smooth progression, skill-building, and enjoyment.
• Northern Vermont Backcountry
Spend the day exploring rolling hills, forest roads, and quiet corners of Vermont that most travelers never see—driving with purpose, not rushing from point A to point B.
• Parker Pie Finish
We wrap the day with a stop at the iconic Parker Pie Company, where cold drinks, legendary pizza, and trail stories mark the perfect end to a day well driven.
Group size is limited to keep the convoy tight, the pace relaxed, and the experience enjoyable on and off the trail.
Seats are limited. If you want dirt on the tires and pizza at the finish line, this is the run.
