Day 1 - Shuttle / Meet in Billings

We'll meet in Billings, Montana on Sunday and start riding Monday morning. Fly into Billings on Sunday, where a shuttle will pick you up at noon and take you to the ride start in Red Lodge. After checking into our hotel, the Rock Creek Resort, you'll have the chance to get settled in and set up your bike. At an early evening orientation we'll provide an overview for the week, make introductions, and answer any questions you have.

Day 2 - Beartooth Scenic Byway

The Beartooth Highway in Montana is one of the most spectacular alpine highways in North America. It offers sweeping vistas of snow-covered mountains and panoramic views of hundreds of high alpine lakes. It is one of the highest and most rugged areas in the lower 48 states, with 20 peaks reaching over 12,000 feet in elevation.

In the surrounding mountains, glaciers are found on the north flank of nearly every mountain peak over 11,500 feet high. The Road itself is the highest elevation highway in Wyoming and Montana. Our destination for the night is Cooke City, gateway to the northeast entrance of Yellowstone.

Day 3 - Yellowstone National Park

The next day we ride into Yellowstone National Park heading for Tower Falls, named for the unusual tower-like volcanic rock formations at the brink of the 132 foot falls. From there we continue on to the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone, a 1,200 foot deep, 20 mile long canyon fed but a roaring waterfall. Then it's on to Grant Village, our home base for the next three nights. It's a perfect location to launch our rides into Yellowstone and Grand Teton.

Day 4 - Old Faithful

Today we ride the Grand Loop! Our destination is Old Faithful, home to the world famous geyser of the same name. Along the way we pass through the Norris Geyser Basin, Yellowstone's most compact thermal area, with literally hundreds of geysers, pools and hot springs. We finish our geological journey along Yellowstone Lake, the highest alspine lake in the states. If you are feeling fesh ride the full 90 mile loop, or just to the Geyser Basin and then shuttle back to basecamp.

Day 5 - Grand Teton National Park

After a short shuttle from Grant Vaillage to the park boundary, we'll ride a loop through Grand Teton National Park. Starting at the south entrance of Yellowstone, we ride along the banks of Jackson and Jenny Lakes beneath the shadow of the Tetons. We then cross to the east side of the park and ride beside the national elk preserve along the sand flats area. Keep your camera ready in case you sight a herd of elk. Two ride options allow those feeling strong to ride close to a century, while riders who want a break can put in 70 relatively flat miles and then enjoy the amazing views of the Tetons.

70-94 miles / 2,500 ft. elevation gain

Day 6 - Yellowstone to Cody Wyoming

Today is century day as we leave Yellowstone and make our way to Cody, Wyoming. Along the way we'll ride along the shores of Yellowstone Lake, America's largest high-altitude mountain lake at 7,733 feet. After skirting its shores, we ride out the east entrance to the park into the badlands of Wyoming, on our way to Cowboy Village on the outskirts of Cody. Strong riders will make this their third day in a row of 90+ miles.

102 miles / 2,500 ft. elevation gain

Day 7 - Chief Joseph Scenic Byway

Today is the grand finale...we ride the entire Chief Joseph Scenic Byway, where the legendary flight of Chief Joseph and his band of Nez Perce indians occurred on their way to Canada. The Scenic Biway offers panoramic vistas of the Beartooths to the north and the volcanic Absaroka Range to the south. Wildlife, including elk, mule deer and mountain goats roam the area, while sheer cliffs towering 1,200 feet line a deep gorge carved by the Clarks Fork of the Yellowstone River. Our destination is once again Red Lodge, Montana.
